The Avengers Broke the $1 Billion Mark

1 year ago by in Entertainment Tagged:

A million dollars isn’t cool. You know what— oh, whatever, you know the rest. The Avengers continues to dominate the box office, both domestic and international. This weekend, the superhero movie earned $103.2 million here and another $95.4 million overseas. Add that to the money it’s already made, and yep, we’ve crossed the $1 billion line.

In second place, Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows, which took in $28.8 million. Not much compared to what The Avengers made — and frankly not much for a Tim Burton-Johnny Depp collaboration either way. Even 2005′s Charlie and the Chocolate factory debuted at almost twice that number, with $56.2 million.

But back to The Avengers‘ record-breaking weekend: first movie to earn $100 million domestically its second weekend, first movie to hit $300 million domestically after being out for nine days. (It took Avatar 10 days. Sucks to be you, Avatar.)

Hopefully these numbers mean we’ll be seeing more intelligent, complex superhero films. (We do have The Dark Knight Rises to look forward to.) And maybe fewer Tim Burton rehashes with Johnny Depp in a lot of makeup? Just a thought.

I have always been a tech enthusiast, to the point where i have become an addict. Tech to me is crack; Always trying to get my fix every chance i get ! I have always loved sharing anything that fascinates me which again most of the time is about tech related content. I used to share content on Google Reader Shared pages (google.com/reader/shared/surdie) but after their not so brilliant idea to shut it down i felt i needed a new platform where i could share and distribute content and thats how Nlyten.com came about. So keep reading and get Nlyten ed !
