For the second week in a row, we have just one movie to talk about. Too bad for Warner Brothers’ that it isn’t Dark Shadows. The eighth collaboration of Johnny Depp and Tim Burton opened to an estimated $9.7 million on Friday at 3,755 locations. That suggests a three-day total of around $28 million – well below the $35 million projected and not even close to good enough while The Avengers are around. After shattering the domestic record with its $207.4 million debut last weekend, the Disney/Marvel super-movie saw its domestic estimate climb to nearly $300 million in an unprecedented eight days. The Avengers’ sophomore frame is now expected to hit $100 million, a number that would demolish the previous record of $75.6 million set by Avatar. Worldwide, The Avengers has already earned over $850 million and is currently on pace to hit One Billion by Sunday. Full details and analysis tomorrow.
| Title | Friday | Total | |
| 1 | The Avengers | $29,120,000 | $299.1 |
| 2 | Dark Shadows | $9,700,000 | $9.7 |
| 3 | Think Like A Man | $1,575,000 | $77.1 |
| 4 | The Lucky One | $1,300,000 | $50.9 |
| 5 | The Hunger Games | $1,200,000 | $383.7 |

Incredible, i will hit $90 – $100 millions, unbelievable.
Whoa!!!…..some movie executives are going to be real happy….hopefully they don’t get greedy and try to rush Avengers 2 and fu@k it up!
I’m surprised that they want it now because they’re gonna have Iron Man 3, Thor and Captain America 2 first before another Avengers. Definately sounds like they want to rush it.
Hot Damn if it broke Avatar’s 2nd weekend record it might even be on track to become the best selling movie ever.

That’s because she’s a cunt
I honestly thought it would cap off at around 300 million, which would have been good enough. Especially theses days with movies lasting about three weeks in theatres. I though it would only appeal to the nerds and teenage boys but everybody is seeing this thing.
Marvel made a smart move in releasing the movie early world wide. It allowed for there to be a solid rating on Rotten Tomatoes of 93% and that in addition to the massive haul the movie brought in on the world market, created really good buzz and caused more people to want to see it.
it’s like a mumbo jumbo to me Movie makin 1 billion in just arround 3 weeks worldwide damn it………
