The blockbuster scored the largest earnings on a Monday for a film in April at the North American box office, and picked up a further $23.5 million on Tuesday, May 1, the best ever take for a Tuesday in May, to romp to $305.9 million.
The superhero film, which stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chadwick Boseman and others, landed the largest North American box office debut on Sunday, beating out "Star Wars: The Force Awakens", which earned $248 million in its opening weekend in 2015.
