Disney announced today that The Avengers opened even stronger than the studio originally thought. Instead of an estimated $200.3 million, which is the figure Disney reported yesterday, the superhero extravaganza actually debuted to $207.4 million last weekend -- or $38.2 million more than the previous opening-weekend record holder, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 2 ($169.2 million).
I can't believe just how much money that this movie made over the weekend. I knew it would make a lot of money but I never expected to see it make this much. I can say from experience that the movie was sold out in every showing at my local movie theater. Glad to see that Joss Whedon was able to make this movie awesome.
