[1]“Hulk smash…box office!” Everyone expected for The Avengers to be big, but no one had any idea just how big. According to THR[2], Disney’s The Avengers absolutely shattered box office records this weekend, earning the biggest opening weekend of all time with a whopping take of $200 million. To put into perspective just how big this is, the previous record holder, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 opened to $169 million last summer, which is more than $30 million less than what The Avengers pulled off in the last three days. It also eclipses Disney’s biggest opening of all time, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, by almost $70 million. The Avengers has also been a huge success with critics and audiences alike, with a “Freshness” rating of 94% at RottenTomatoes.com and an A+ CinemaScore.
