The Avengers Came to the Rescue of Which Flailing Flick?
Marvel/Disney Enterprises
The Avengers is a mighty movie, all right.
Hollywood's record-busting box-office champ was so strong last weekend it helped lift up the year's most notorious money-loser.
Yes, John Carter, a thank-you note may be in order.
Does Dark Knight Rises Have Any Chance of Toppling The Avengers' $200 Million Blowout?
Marvel, Warner Bros.
The Avengers' historic $200 million-plus opening weekend is being cheered in a place you might least expect: Gotham City.
Batman's Hollywood bosses sound assured that big business for The Avengers will mean big business for The Dark Knight Rises.
Five Reasons The Avengers Was the Biggest-Opening Movie Ever

The Avengers didn't just set a new box-office record. It broke the old one to Hulk-sized-smashed bits.
Here's how Hollywood scored its first-ever $200 million weekend:

While Justin Bieber was busy hanging out with some members of Floyd Mayweather's "money team," other celebs were partying it up at the Kentucky Derby on Cinco de Mayo. But, just in case you missed that or The Avengers' record-breaking weekend, don't worry.
We've got all the deets on that and much more, right here.
UPDATE!
The Avengers Smashes Opening-Weekend Record with $200.3 Million!
Marvel/Disney Enterprises
UPDATE: Not only was Sunday's box office bigger than expected, the revised figures were bigger than expected, too, bringing The Avengers' three-day, opening-weekend total up to $207.1 $207.4 million, final stats from its studio showed Monday.
_______
The Avengers is the new king of the opening weekend.
The superhero movie grossed a unprecedented $200.3 million in its Friday-Sunday box-office debut, its studio estimated.
The film is the first to break $200 million in three days. It destroyed the mark held by the previous weekend record-holder, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.
The Avengers' Opening Day: $80.5 Million!
Marvel
The Avengers is getting closer to officially becoming the biggest comic-geek thing ever at the box office.
The Marvel team-up movie grossed $80.5 million on Friday, its studio estimated, Hollywood's second biggest opening day ever.
And, yes, the biggest comic-geek thing ever.
Which Summer Movies Will Be Huge—and Which Ones Could Flop?
Universal, Warner Bros, Columbia, Sony
What summer movies are facing the "best" odds for absolutely tanking at the box office? I'm a little worried for Men in Black 3.
—Scott, Tucson, via the inbox
Fret not, son, because I've crunched the numbers for every big-budget schlockfest coming this summer, and of all the celebrities involved, from Ri-Ri to Johnny, Cruise to Charlize, Will Smith and Josh Brolin are not the least likely to succeed.
How do I know?
UPDATE!
The Avengers Downs The Dark Knight at Midnight!
Marvel/Disney Enterprises
The Avengers is the superhero world's new box-office king—or, at least it is at midnight.
In 12 a.m. Friday screenings, the mega-Marvel movie grossed $18.7 million, according to its studio, a new high for the genre.
To recap: The Dark Knight just got beat.
The Avengers No Match for The Hunger Games?

UPDATE: Sellouts, schmellouts. While The Avengers didn't top The Hunger Games at midnight, it got awfully close, and set a new mark for superhero movies with an $18.7 million take in 12 a.m., Friday screenings.
__________
The Avengers is going to be big, but it's looking less likely that it's going to beat The Hunger Games.
At least in the early box-office going, and especially tonight at midnight.
Hit or Miss? The One and Only Way The Avengers Can Fail
Marvel/Disney Enterprises
The Avengers can't miss.
It's got fantastic buzz. It's enjoyed a fast start around the world. It's got more than 4,000 theaters ready to roll its credits (finally) for its hungry hometown fans.
What can possibly go wrong?
