Marvel’s #TheAvengers Sets New Records – Learn Why!

MARVEL’S THE AVENGERS DOMESTIC DEBUT SETS ALL-TIME INDUSTRY RECORD AT $200.3 MILLION

Honestly, I hadn’t paid a whole lot of attention to this movie until I started hearing all the buzz in the blogosphere about it. My friend Darcy at Tales from the Nursery, got to attend the red carpet event in NYC for The Avengers Premier, which sounds like such an amazingly cool event! Then I read my girl Sadie’s review of The Avengers too – and realized that this sounds seriously good. So when I heard the news that this movie has totally blown away the competition, and set new records in ticket sales, that sealed the deal. I see a date night in the near future!

Check out their news…

“In just three days, Marvel’s the Avengers is the fastest movie to reach $200 million domestically. The domestic debut kicked off Friday, May 4 and marks the second highest single day take of all time at $80.5 million. Saturday’s box office gross of $69.7 million is the highest Saturday take of all time. Moviegoers gave Marvel’s The Avengers a rare and perfect A+ CinemaScore.” Sounds like pure awesomeness to me.

Marvel’s The Avengers began opening internationally April 25 and crossed the $600 million mark globally May 6 after just 12 days in release.

The film’s success comes a month after Marvel and Disney announced that a sequel to 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger will be released April 4, 2014. A sequel to last summer’s Thor is scheduled for release November 15, 2013, and the third installment of the hit Iron Man series, which has earned over $1.2 billion worldwide, will arrive in theaters May 3, 2013. Marvel’s The Avengers is the first Marvel Studios film to be marketed and distributed by The Walt Disney Studios.
