    Tardis AVENGERS Opening Weekend - $200,300,000.00

    This is according to Box Office Mojo (and I have no idea whether it takes into account adjustments for inflation). Even though I gain nothing from this venture, I'm tickled s**tless, again, that a movie based on a comic has the biggest opening weekend of all time!!! Now if this doesn't give Joss some well-deserved accolades, I don't know what will (and this doesn't even take Sunday into account yet)...
    Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.

    Yes, it would be the record by some distance. Harry Potter Deathly Hallows pt 2 holds the record at $169 mill at the moment. Disney Marvel are also predicting a box office of $641 Worldwide so far.

    What I find SO astounding about the success of not only THE AVENGERS, but at the success of movies based off comics in general is that, when I was kid growing up (in upper Elementary, Middle and High School) I, and the kids like me who read comics, were tortured mercilessly for reading "funny books" and now they're a HUGE market theatrically. It's funny how the world changes in thirty someodd years....

    Impressive! And let's remember: it's not even Sunday yet!

    The event where the fans are separated from the true fans.

    Well, technically, it IS Sunday, O:M, but we just don't know what today's grosses will be. I'm thinking that THE AVENGERS will probably wind up with a full weekend gross somewhere north of 220 million, which is a HUGE haul for a single weekend (and, incidentally, kinda pays for the movie in one weekend, as if it hadn't already been paid for by all the cash from overseas)....

    Whoops, I meant that Sunday's profit's haven't been counted yet since it has until midnight to get higher. I didn't mean to say that an entire day didn't happen, I'm just still living on Saturday time.

    Edit: It's now a Yahoo article, so that makes it official. :

    Box Office Shocker: 'Avengers' Opens to Record-Shattering $200.3 Million - Yahoo! Movies
