In the battle of box office opening weekends, there is a new champion. This weekend marked the release of Marvel's highly anticipated film
The Avengers. According to an article on Yahoo! Movies from The Hollywood Reporter,
The Avengers kicked off their opening weekend with an astounding $200.3 million dollars domestically. This easily sets a new record over last summer's previous record holder
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, which had an opening weekend of $169.2 million. It seems interesting to note, however, that although
The Avengers took down
Harry Potter for opening weekend, they fell short of taking
Potter's record for opening day. According to BoxOfficeMojo.com,
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 still holds the record for highest grossing opening day with $91 million, whereas
The Avengers took second place with $80.5 million. Be sure to click on the link below to read the rest of The Hollywood Reporter's article.
