“Walt Disney Pictures reports that Marvel's The Avengers (review here) is expected to cross the $1 billion global box office mark today on its 19th day of release! It will be the first Marvel film and fifth Disney release to reach $1 billion.
Domestically, the Joss Whedon (Serenity) action adventure added $103.2 million, which is the first time in history a film has crossed the $100 million mark its second weekend. Last weekend, the film set the opening weekend record with $207.4 million. Internationally, The Avengers earned $95.4 million this weekend. The film has earned an estimated $373.2 million now in North America and $628.9 million overseas for a worldwide total of $1,002.1 billion.
That means in just 19 days, the $220 million-budgeted film has surpassed The Dark Knight's $1,001.9 billion and has climbed to the 11th spot on the all-time worldwide list. It's also the fastest film to reach the $200 million mark domestically in three days, the fastest to reach $300 million in nine days, it has the highest Saturday ($69.5 million) and Sunday ($57 million) totals of all time, and the second-biggest single-day gross of all time ($80.8 million).
Internationally, The Avengers began opening April 25 and is the biggest opening weekend of all time in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Ecuador, Central America, Peru, Bolivia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, and United Arab Emirates. The Avengers has now opened in all major markets except Japan (August 17)” (Comingsoon.net).
Following all that, Warner Bros. is sure to be disappointed with the measly $29.7 million that Dark Shadows managed to bring in after being produced for an estimated $150.
Think Like a Man (review here) continues to be one of the top films, grossing $6.3 million for third place, while The Hunger Games (review here) and The Lucky One both brought in over $4 million for fourth and fifth place respectively.
Taking fifth and sixth place were The Five-Year Engagement and The Pirates! Band of Misfits (review here), which both took in over $3 million. The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel surprised in eighth place, grossing $2.7 million in only 178 theaters with a per location gross of $15,012, the second best per-theater average overall.
The Top Ten was rounded out by Chimpanzee and Safe, which both took in over $1 million.
