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.
