What movie holds the record for earning the most money worldwide?

《阿凡达》、《泰坦尼克号》、《侏罗纪世界》或《星球大战:原力觉醒》?

AZUZ: It costs about $300 million to make the movie "Avengers: Infinity⁴ War". That’s a lot. Many major motion pictures cost in the neighborhood of $100 million once you factor in marketing⁵ 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 elite⁶ 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 chunk⁷ 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.

“无限战争”可能成为第四个。这些收入中有很大一部分来自中国。即使美国制作的电影在美国的影院卖不出去，他们也在海外找到了越来越多的观众。
