‘The Avengers’ Makes $207M, Breaks Records

According to reports, The Avengers made $207M domestically over their 3-day opening weekend bringing its global total to $654.5M. Before this, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 held the record for biggest opening with $169M.

In comparison, last weekend’s second most popular movie, Think Like a Man, made only $14M. Meaning, expect at least two more Avengers movies to be greenlit this week. Any subsequent movies probably won’t ever reach this record but as long as they follow the same formula, Scarlett Johansson’s heaving breasts and Hulk smashing stuff, they should do alright.
