It has reached one billion...passing the Dark Knight.

The new opening of Burton/Depp Dark Shadows was no match for The Avengers this weekend....lol.

Next week Battleship opens. Perhaps that one finally overtakes The Avengers?

[The Toyroom]

I think Avengers holds strong for a third week...

[Hector]

Yeah, I also think The Avengers will still hold first place next week.

Battleship will pass Dark Shadows easily though.

Battleship looks like a fun flick...I'm going to check it out...lol.

I was thinking that BATTLESHIP might give THE AVENGERS a run, but after seeing THE AVENGERS, I'm thinking it may slow THE AVENGERS B.O. momentum a bit, but likely will not overtake it simply due to the fact that, IMHO, a lot of what you see in BATTLESHIP, you see IN THE AVENGERS, only along with the chaos and destruction, you get humour, superheroes and a HULK!!! I will be curious to see what impact BATTLESHIP has on our heroes, though...

I finally saw the Avengers yesterday with my wife and kids. I loved it and so did my kids! It didn't appeal to my wife in the least. But then again, she's not into superheroes, either. I'm still laughing about the scene when Tony Stark asks Bruce Banner how he keeps himself from becoming upset. The list of reasons he suggests were hilarious.

I think Avengers holds strong for a third week...

Box Office: 'Avengers' Makes Billion Dollars Worldwide

[johnmiic]

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.

I got to see it, but I have to say that I felt all of the individual movies leading up to Avengers were all better stories. I enjoyed the movie, but I do have to say that I am a bit mistified at the crazy box office take. Don't know why, but the last half of the film reminded me very much of the last act of Whedon's Serenity movie, so I guess I didn't leave the theatre thinking "wow".

I saw it tonight. Fantastic movie.

In just 19 days, it has surpassed the Dark Knight $1 Billion total already and just needs another $300 mill to over take Harry Potter to become the 3rd highest grossing movie of all time.

[Operation:Mego]

Oh, without a doubt, it will totally make that much more. It's so good that multiple viewings won't make you sick of it, and everytime it ends, you have to see it again.
