Marvel Studio's much-anticipated superhero action flick brought in $200.3 million opening weekend
The Hulk is a smash.
Marvel Studio's "The Avengers" stomped all over box office records on its way to earning $200.3 million in its debut - the greatest opening weekend of all time.
The movie, which brings together several super hero franchises (Iron Man, The Hulk, Captain America and Thor) within in a bigger franchise, easily surpassed the $169.2 million notched by previous record-holder, last year's "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2."
The super hero blockbuster also earned $151 million more overseas - it opened on April 25 in some territories -- bringing its worldwide total to an estimated $641.8 million.
"The $200 million opening weekend is just like Sasquatch, it's something I thought I would never actually see," says Paul Dergarabedian, box office analyst for Hollywood.com. "This is the four-minute mile at the box office, a mark I never thought we'd see broken."
"The word of mouth is so incredible on this film, it just keeps building and building, and movie theaters kept having to add showings. The marketplace was expanding to accommodate the demand."
Though it finished $10.6 million behind "Deathly Hallows Part 2's" Friday record of $91.1 million, "The Avengers" finished strong to set the highest Saturday gross ever with $69.7 million.
The Avengers" finished so far ahead of the pack in the box office race that it made Secretariat's 1973 Belmont Stakes win look like a nail-biter, but there were other movies that took money in at the multiplex.
Sony Screen Gems' "Think Like a Man," which held on to the top spot over the past two weekends, finished second with $8 million. Lionsgate's "The Hunger Games' finished third with $5.7 million but that total helped the movie edge into 14th place all time domestically with $380.7 million.
"The Avengers" kicks off what many prognosticators - including Dergarabedian - say could be the biggest summer movie season of all time, with "Men In Black 3," "Snow White and the Huntsman," "Prometheus," "The Amazing Spider-Man," "G.I. Joe: Retribution," and "The Dark Knight Rises" arriving in theaters over the coming months.
