The Playlist:
When a movie scores the biggest opening weekend of all time (by nearly $40 million, in this case), the expectation is that it should continue to smash records. So, at a glance, “The Avengers” scoring the largest second weekend in film history isn’t exactly newsworthy. Though most prognosticators pegged the film, following a stupefying opening act of $207 million, to level off in the vicinity of 70% or so. As it turns out, a lot of your friends missed out on the movie the first time around, and after losing a little more than half of its first weekend tally, it’s the first film ever with two nine-figure weekend grosses.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
WOW!!!! This is something that even I was not expecting. I was expecting it to be a very big hit. I had all the faith in the world that Joss Whedon was going to make this movie work and that 99.9% of the people would love it...but this...it just blows my mind.
I would just like to say....I told you so :P Called this a long time ago, right here on Filmwatch.
I actually thought it would be a little faster, but hey.
Well deserved
I thought it was going to cross $1 billion, but man at this speed? It's already made more than The Dark Knight and is $22 million away from passing up Alice in Wonderland and being one of the Top 10 most successful movies ever.
I would like to take some .1% credit for helping this movie reach it's $1B. I seen it 5 times in the first week... lol
