Last week, we brought you the news of The Avengers‘ record-setting grosses in countries all around the world. This weekend, however, the film made its US debut and its box office records were brought to soaring new heights. Grossing $200.3 million over the past three days, The Avengers successfully overtook Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 to have the highest-grossing domestic debut of all time.
Earning a rare perfect A+ CinemaScore from moviegoers, The Avengers has become the fastest movie to earn $200 million domestically. The film earned $80.5 million on its first day of release, making it the second highest single-day box office gross of all time. On Saturday, the film set the record for the highest Saturday take of all time, bringing in $69.7 million.
After debuting internationally on April 25, The Avengers has now crossed the $600 million mark in worldwide grosses after just 12 days in theaters.
