This weekend, The Avengers
exploded into theaters, clobbering enough alien invaders to earn them over
$200 million at the box office. Pick a box-office record and
"The Avengers" has probably broken it.
With a superstar cast, great
reviews and glowing word of mouth from fans, "The Avengers" bounded
past the previous record of $169.2 million set by last year's "Harry
Potter" finale.The film drew in comic-book
fans and general audiences alike, with the audience evenly split between those
over and under 25, according to Disney. Teens packed theaters, couples came to
see it as a date movie and parents with children made it a family outing."Fans, non-fans,
parents, non-parents. Any kind of descriptor you can come up with, people are
embracing this film," said Dave Hollis, Disney's head of distribution.
Over the same first weekend
of May, 10 years earlier, "Spider-Man" rocked Hollywood with a $114.8
million debut, the first movie ever to open with more than $100 million in a
single weekend."It was unthinkable.
People thought, wow, a blockbuster film should do $100 million in its whole
run, not just opening weekend," said Paul Dergarabedian, analyst for
box-office tracker Hollywood.com. "The
$200 million opening weekend is something I didn't think I would ever see, or
something I wouldn't see until after I retired."
