Although the initial tracking numbers said $125 million to $150 million, The Avengers smashed all of that and took the crown for an opening weekend gross with an amazing $200.3 million gross. If ticket prices were adjusted The Avengers would still come out on top. The film made $80.5 million on Friday, $69.7 million on Saturday and $50.1 million on Sunday for a heroic $200.3 million. The film beat the previous record holder of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 by $31 million. The film also received an A+ cinema score which means the film will have legs in the future. The film should win for the next two weekends until Men in Black III is released. Here is the full list of records The Avengers broke:
