On the eve of its release in North America, Avengers: Age of Ultron has already reached $255.4 million at the international box office.

Considering Avengers: Age of Ultron accounts for 95 percent of this weekend’s Fandango presales, it’s safe to say the movie will be making a significant impact at the domestic box office as well.

In Avengers: Age of Ultron, when Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) jumpstarts a dormant peacekeeping program, things go terribly awry, forcing him, Thor (Chris Hemsworth), the Incredible Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) and the rest of the Avengers to reassemble. As the fate of Earth hangs in the balance, the team is put to the ultimate test as they battle Ultron (James Spader), a technological terror hell-bent on human extinction. Along the way, they encounter two mysterious and powerful newcomers, Pietro and Wanda Maximoff.

Avengers: Age of Ultron opens domestically May 1.
