As of Sunday 5/6 AM, the studio confirms that The Avengers is on track to shatter the domestic weekend opening record with $200.3M. (Warner Bros’ 3D Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2 finale used to hold that record with $169M.)

That puts it to take in about $640M globally in just 10 days.

A quick question for whoever saw this movie: Is the Hulk in the film the 1st or 2nd movie version? who plays him as B. Banner?

Bruce Banner was played by Mark Ruffalo.

Wow, thats a tiny theater!

Was it in 3D?

No, just old time 2D.

I think the 2nd. Mark Ruffalo plays Banner and does a great job IMHO.

Here is another BIG (not) surprise... Disney CEO Bob Iger just announced that the company is developing a sequel. The film’s success “is a great illustration of why we like Marvel so much.”

well yeah. If it can keep its momentum avengers alone will make 1.3billion. That and the fact that everyone knows these characters the sequels from their source movies will make a crap ton too. Because because everyone likes them.


Oh yes disney will make a crap ton of money off this endeavor. And good for them. Makes up for the John Carter fiasco in spades.
