Avengers: Era of Ultron failed to hit the record box office debut of the first Avengers movie ($ 207.4 million in 2012), and with an estimated $ 187.7 million this weekend in the United States, the new feature film got the second biggest debut ever in the country!

Many industry experts believed that Avengers: Age of Ultron slackened the debut of the first film, predicting a box office of up to $ 220 million. However, it appears that the broadcast of the fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao may have hindered the movement in movie theaters on Saturday night, which had an effect on the final fundraiser.

The result, however, is still excellent. On Friday, Ultron's Age made the biggest release day box office for a superhero movie ($ 84.5 million), and the second largest historically (just behind the opening day of Harry Potter and As Deathly Hallows - Part 2, which made $ 91.7 million). The first Avengers made $ 80.8 million on Friday debut, but had a better Saturday than Ultron Era.

The total collected this weekend puts three Marvel Studios films among the biggest box office of all time: with Avengers (and the cited $ 207.4 million in 2012), Age of Ultron (with $ 187.7 million), and thirdly Iron Man 3 ($ 174.1 million in 2013).

Only six other films had an opening of more than $ 150 million over the weekend: Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows - Part 2 ($ 169.2 million); Batman - The Dark Knight Rises ($ 160.9 million); Batman - The Dark Knight ($ 158.4 million), The Hunger Games: Burning ($ 158.1 million), The Hunger Games ($ 152.5 million) and Spider-Man 3 ($ 151.1) millions).

Internationally, Avengers: Age of Ultron has grossed another $ 439 million, with historical records in several countries, including Brazil. Worldwide, the film passes the $ 656.6 million mark.

Meanwhile, Fast and Furious 7 topped the world total of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 and became the fourth highest grossing ever, and only the third movie to gross more than $ 1 billion in the markets alone. foreigners. Therefore, the film must also surpass the world total of the first Avengers movie.

No one doubts, however, that Avengers: Age of Ultron is even bigger and reaches that amount at some point - it's just a matter of time!
