Apparently I was the only one who didn’t go out and see The Avengers this weekend. It started out with a strong midnight showing and then it was like the Juggernaut bitch, gaining momentum until it shattered Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2’s previous record of $169.2 million. When the dust settled, The Avengers had set the new three day opening record; $200.3 million! Now the top ten in that category, according to Box Office Mojo, looks like this:

 
The Avengers, $200.3 million
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, $169.2 million
The Dark Knight, $158.4 million
The Hunger Games, $152.5 million
Spider-Man 3, $151.1 million
The Twilight Saga: New Moon, $142.8 million
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn—Part 1, $138.1 million
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, $135.6 million
Iron Man 2, $128.1 million
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, $125 million

 
And even better, after just over a week in worldwide release, it has grossed a smashing $641.8 million. With that said, dear friends, let up push this to the ultimate top. Let’s make this the highest grossing film of all time. Let us put Joss at the top of that list!! I will be doing my part this week sometime and you should too!
