After just 19 days, Disney-Marvel's "The Avengers" is expected today to cross $1 billion at the global box office, boosted by a remarkable soph-sesh hold Stateside, down just 50%, for a weekend take of $103.2 million.
The film's stalwart perf this weekend caused a pair of "Avatar" benchmarks to fall: "Avengers" now is the fastest-growing pic to reach the billion-dollar threshold -- it took "Avatar" four weeks. The superhero pic also outstripped the 2009 blockbuster's previous $75.6 million benchmark as the all-time biggest second weekend tally domestically.
"Avengers" reached an estimated $628.9 million internationally through Sunday, with Stateside totals at $373.2 million.
The Disney-Marvel pic took a big bite this weekend out of Warner Bros.' debut player "Dark Shadows," which underperformed expectations with an estimated $28.8 million.
"Dark Shadows" was projected to hit at least the mid-$30 million mark -- a so-so $550,000 midnight start suggested it could, based on previous summer comparisons. But hulk-sized competition from "Avengers" on Saturday and Sunday stunted the debut pic's growth.
At the Stateside specialty B.O., Fox Searchlight managed to offer successful counterprogramming for the second straight weekend with "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" -- but this time on a much wider scale.
FSL added on Friday more than 150 locations for "Hotel," which estimated $2.7 million ($14,888 per screen) through Sunday for a cume of $3.7 million. The film's staying power with "Avengers" in the market is made more impressive given that "Hotel" has registered mostly with seniors, who pay discounted ticket fares. Pic's highest-grossing theater this weekend came from Phoenix.
