Marvel's The Avengers Passes $700 Million Mark in 13 Days

[Hector]

Name's Coulson. Phil Coulson.

I hear rumors that the actor is going to come back as the Vision in the Avengers sequel.

I read he has signed on to be in Iron Man 3.

Heard any rumors on that?

The Avengers overseas box office take:

Its only major openings this weekend came in Russia and China, where it took first place with $17.9 million and $17.4 million, respectively. Neither of these are close to record-setting levels, though that shouldn't take away from how impressive they are either. Including Monday, the highest-grossing territories for The Avengers are the United Kingdom ($54 million), Mexico ($40.7 million), Brazil ($33.9 million), Australia ($33.2 million), and South Korea ($31.8 million). The only top tier market left to open is Japan, which will unleash The Avengers in August.

It seems like Mexico can compete with some First World countries in terms of movie theater going...nearing England's box office numbers...and more than larger countries such as Brazil, Russia...and China.

Go Mexican geeks...go!

Still havent seen it yet but if what EVERYONE is saying, WB better step up after this one.

Look at the interrogation scene from TDK compared to the one from
CA:TFA.

To me that sums up Marvel's movie superiority in a neat little nutshell.

A couple secondary characters that aren't even comicbook stalwarts
giving Batman and the Joker a run for their money.

Amazing.

I read about the Iron Man 3 rumor. He still might be alive because, if you remember, Coulson's death was confirmed off-screen. Or, story-wise, it might be flashbacks. The Vision idea is new to me though. I think that would be a cool idea.

Go Mexico!! And the U.K.!! And then no doubt Japan will shatter both of them. Those poor b@stards have to wait until August 18th!!

Seeing Batman and the Joker in an Interrogation Room was awesome...
I just thought the other scene was written better.

If you're a Joker fan... you'd have to be nuts not to enjoy that scene.

Just thought I'd give a nod

[emeraldknight47]

The thing that makes the interrogation scene in CA:TFA work so well, besides being well written, is the deadpan delivery by Tommy Lee Jones. He has a whole lot of crazy behind his eyes and he controls it so well that it's frequently hard to draw a bead on whatever character he's playing, so I'm sure the Hydra flunkie he was questioning didn't know what the hell to make of him!

Not necessarily...Japan has never been that big on American superhero movies.

Compare Mexico, England, and Japan box office takes for the following superhero flicks:

But when it comes to cutesy blue creatures...Japan goes crazy...

This is how I'm hoping to see it this afternoon or this evening. I want to be totally immersed in the experience!!!

[Operation:Mego]

I'm thinking of seeing it tomorrow since it's Mother's Day. Of course, then it might be filled with dad's and their kids. "It's your mother's day son, so we're going to the movies!"

Oh no, don't say that. I work at the movies! I've been on vacation since it came out but I'm back to work tomorrow!

I've seen it twice now. Once in Imax, then again in 3D. Hoping to take my gf's dad to see it this week.

Avengers is one kick-arse film. I don't think I have ever laughed, clapped, and pumped my fist in utter geek-Heaven, as much as I did here. This film pushes all the right buttons and was, without question, an instant classic. It deserves every dime it makes. I have already seen it twice and don't see an end to more repeat visits.

So what's the B.O. total up to now?
