These are the top four money makers 3 overall but Avatar is number one with almost $2.8 billion.


这是全球前四位赚钱的电影,但《阿凡达》却以28亿美元的收入高居榜首。


AZUZ: It costs about $300 million to make the movie "Avengers: Infinity 4 War". That’s a lot. Many major motion pictures cost in the neighborhood of $100 million once you factor in marketing 5 and distribution.


制作电影《复仇者联盟:无限战争》耗资3亿美元。数额巨大。考虑营销和分销的时候,很多主要的电影成本都在1亿美元左右。


"Infinity War" is one of the most expensive movies ever made. But for its producers, it’s been a worthwhile investment. After 19 days in U.S. movie theaters, "Avengers" has hauled in more than $550 million. And if you add in what it’s made worldwide, you get a staggering figure of $1.65 billion.


《复仇者联盟:无限战争》是有史以来最 “烧钱”的电影之一。但对它的生产商来说,这是一笔值得的投资。在美国影院上映19天后,《复仇者联盟》的票房收入超过5.5亿美元。如果你再加上它在世界范围内的产量,收入惊人16.5亿美元。


And movie industry experts say it could become part of an elite 6 club. There have been only three movies to make more than $2 billion worldwide.


电影行业专家说,它可能成为精英俱乐部的一部分。全球只有三部电影的票房超过20亿美元。


"Infinity War" could become the fourth. A good chunk 7 of these revenues are coming from China. Even when American made movies don’t sell out theaters in America, they’re finding a growing audience overseas.
