I think Star Wars VII is likely to top it, although I'm not that interested in it.

“Avengers: Age of Ultron” took China by storm this week, scoring the country’s second highest-grossing debut in history.
The superhero sequel has made $156.3 million in its first six days in the People’s Republic, behind only “Furious 7” when it comes to China openings. Those big numbers pushed “Avengers: Age of Ultron’s” global total to $1.1 billion, making it the eighth highest-grossing film of all time.
The film topped foreign charts again, pulling in $185 million from overseas territories in its fourth week of international release.

Still, these movies are all action and special effects without much substance.

Quote:There is another movie with more substance than Ultron that also has a robot as the central character. Ex Machina is considered to have “substance” if you believe metacritic www.metacritic.com/movie/ex-machina

But, and it is a big butt, Ex Machina sold only $29,048,268 in tickets. www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=exmachina.htm
In the world you live in, substance loses to flashy, trashy movies. See for example Furious 7, which sold worldwide $1,488,800,000 in tickets. www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=fast7.htm

Ex_Machina is most definitely a thinking person's SF film. Highly recommended.

Some of my thinking was incorrect, some of the foreshadowing is herring. Also the most nekkidness I've seen in cinema this year.
