Box Office Monday: The Avengers Still Kickin’ Butt

The Avengers make over $1 billion Worldwide!

Last week, Marvel’s The Avengers raked in quite a few box office records, and this week will be no different. Having grossed over $370 million domestically and $1 billion worldwide, The Avengers hold the records for best second weekend, fastest movie to reach $300 million and $350 million, and highest eight-day, nine-day, and ten-day grosses. The avengers did fall 50% from last week though. But with these numbers, who cares?

While Marvel is celebrating, Warner Brother and Tim Burton aren’t. Dark Shadows made a disappointing $29.6 million on a production budget of $150 million. But on the bright side, Dark Shadows will have three new nationwide releases this week.

Will The Avengers hold the number one spot at the box office next week? Will Battleship sink opening weekend? And will What to Expect When Your Expecting lack of marketing affect it’s box office number? Check back next Monday to find out.
