'The Avengers' sets box-office records


The official box-office numbers are in and "The Avengers" did better than studio estimates. The film took in $207.4 million in its opening weekend.

Ray Subers recaps the record-breaking opening of "The Avengers" at BoxOfficeMojo.com:
It was the fastest movie ever to reach $100 million, $150 million, and $200 million, and it set new records for Saturday ($69.7 million) and Sunday ($50.1 million) grosses. It also had the highest per-theater average ever for a nationwide release with $46,057.

Through its first three days, The Avengers has already grossed more than Thor ($181 million), Captain America: The First Avenger ($176.6 million) and The Incredible Hulk ($134.8 million). It's still behind Iron Man and Iron Man 2 ($318.4 million and $312.4 million, respectively), though it should pass those movies next weekend.

Are Disney's 3D Re-Releases Helping People Change Their Minds About 3D?

The reason Disney's re-release of 'The Lion King' in 3D did so well at the box office ($80 million so far) is because it was such a great story to begin with. The 3D enhanced the film for a newer audience, but you started with a great film.

Bragging rights for Disney/Pixar, but let's not forget that 'Cars 2' was the most disappointing Pixar release and made the least amount of money when you factor in its production costs.

'Cars 2' races to No. 1 at box office

Critics be damned.

Despite terrible reviews for its latest offering, Disney Pixas showed it can still set box-office records.

"Cars 2" dominated the weekend at U.S. movie theaters with an estimate haul of $68 million.

The question is whether the film has legs (or wheels) with word-of-mouth expected to be mediocre.

Here's Brandon Gray's analysis from BoxOfficeMojo.com
Pixar's reliability was on display again with the roll-out of Cars 2. The manufacturer's latest model generated its 12th No. 1 opening in a row with an estimated $68 million over the weekend. Moviegoers were also hot for Bad Teacher as well, but Green Lantern flamed out.

Riding on approximately 7,700 screens at 4,115 locations, Cars 2 delivered the fourth highest-grossing June opening weekend ever and the fifth highest-grossing opening weekend yet for a Pixar movie, behind Toy Story 3's $110.3 million, The Incredibles' $70.5 million, Finding Nemo's $70.3 million and Up's $68.1 million. The talking car sequel out-grossed the first Cars' $60.1 million opening weekend from June 2006, but trailed it in terms of estimated attendance. Cars 2's weekend was towards the back of the Pixar attendance pack, ahead of only A Bug's Life, Ratatouille and Toy Story.
