The Collider:
It’s official. The Avengers is a monster. After earning a reported $18.7 million at midnight, Marvel’s long-awaited superhero mash-up posted an estimated $80.5 million on its opening day in 4,349 locations. That is second only to the $91 million of 2011’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. In terms of its three-day prospects, The Avengers is set to challenge the aforementioned boy wizard for first place in the All-Time weekend race. The number to beat there is $169.1 million – completely do-able for these critically-lauded superheroes considering they have 77% of America’s screens all to themselves. Meanwhile, Tony Stark and company have already taken in an enormous $304 million since opening internationally last week. That means that the Disney/Marvel release will likely pass $500 worldwide by the end of this weekend. And they said Joss Whedon was worried!
In a world where monsters attack at night, we see yet another world, post-apocalypse, where a handful of people struggle to survive.
Crime Scene Berlin-Nightlife Killer Review: This documentary series really drops the ball with its storytelling.
In a movie that largely sidesteps what the war is about, “Civil War” puts us in the point of view of journalists who make it clear there are no heroes in war, just dead bodies.
Joss Whedon worries about everything...probably why he's lost all his hair..he used to have a lot of hair when he started Buffy on TV.
I think it's going to break the record but let's wait and see before we get ahead of ourselves.
The dark knight rises is going to trump all the records :P
I wonder if it will break $1b gross just like The Dark Knight. It would be cool if it did. Everyone should support great movies like these.
Wow everybody here is talking about the wrong Batman.
The MICHAEL KEATON Batman were the shizz (1&2)
