Avengers smashes and rapes US box office record for opening weekend gross at box office.
Los Angeles / NationalTurk – Disney hits the bullseye with Avengers as Thor (portrayed by Chris Hemsworth) and Captain America (portrayed by Chris Evans) smash not only foes.. The enseble of World’s mightiest comic book heroes smashed also Canadian and US box office records. The Avengers pummeled the competition to haul in $200.3 million on its opening weekend, cinema industry analysts stated.
Directed by cult and nerd and geek favorite Joss Whedon, the Walt Disney high-thrills action adventure enhanced in Imax 3 D experience made in collaboration with Marvel Comics is destined to become the highest grossing US debut of all time.
Superheroes like Captain America, The Hulk, Iron Man and Thor fraternize as an international peacekeeping agency of superheroes battling to save our beloved Earth from Thor’s evil brother Loki and his army of aliens, creatures and things.
Avengers destinied to leave no record unbroken
Avenger ‘s all-star cast includes Gwyneth Paltrow, Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye), Robert Downey Jr (Iron Man), Chris Evans (Captain America), Mark Ruffalo (Hulk), and Chris Hemsworth (Thor), most of the latter comeos roles from earlier stand-alone movies.
Walt Disney stated the Avengers, which was released first abroad before hitting US shores, had already raked in some $641.8 million and reports said it was on target to join the elite club of the world’s few billion dollar movies.
Projections from its first three days indicate ‘The Avengers’ had exceeded all expectations and surpassed the $168.2 million taken on its opening weekend by ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2’ — the eighth and finally the final film in the widely-popular series.
‘ Such strong grosses at box offices around the globe signaled that this was not just a fan movie — not just a guy movie — but a movie for everyone,’ Dave Hollis, Disney’s executive vice president for distribution told about Avengers the Los Angeles Times.
Avengers will be the admiral ship of Disney
The gross at Us box office, positive critics and the smile on the faces of almost every person (guys, girls, nerds, geeks, young and old) after having watched the film will be a huge relief to Disney, which spent more than $220 million to produce Avengers, after its very public box office flop with John Carter earlier 2012 which caused a $200 million write-down — one of the biggest losses of all time not only for Disney, according to the LA Times.
The Avengers kicked romantic comedy ‘ Think Like A Man ‘ into second place earning $8 million, Exhibitor Relations reports.
