BOX OFFICE: AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON Shoots Past $400M With 2nd Highest Opening Day Ever

Avengers: Age of Ultron has now rocketed past the $400 million mark worldwide, and had the second highest opening day of all-time at the North American box office yesterday. Hit the jump for details on that, and to find out the CinemaScore the sequel received from moviegoers...

By JoshWilding - May 02, 2015 08:05 AM EST
Avengers: Age of Ultron opened yesterday with an impressive $84.4 million, a number just shy of the record for the highest opening day of all time which is held by Harry Potter and the Death Hallows Part II and its $91 million haul. Regardless, the sequel still topped the first instalment's $80.8 million, and depending on how today goes, it looks set to finish between the $200 million - $210 million mark. Whether it will top The Avengers' amazing $207.4 million remains to be seen, and the box office tends to be so unpredictable that it really could land anywhere right now.

Don't be surprised for it to potentially go even higher than that $210 million estimation. If it doesn't though, it's still an incredible result. An "A" CinemaScore from moviegoers will no doubt help, but the fact that a number of sporting events are taking place today could explain why it's taken a slight hit. This is only its first weekend though, and with weeks more to go - not to mention a forthcoming Chinese debut - there should be no stopping Avengers: Age of Ultron. With an additional $53 million internationally yesterday, it now has $340 million from overseas, and a worldwide cume of $425 million. How many times will YOU see the sequel this weekend? Share your thoughts below.

VISION! Honestly, I'm so glad we finally have a superhero who THINKS! The way they put him across as an intellectual and a philosopher was great, and I think he had the best lines in the movie.

"They're doomed."
"Yes. But then I suppose something isn't beautiful if it lasts."
"You're unbearably naive."
"Well... I was born yesterday."

Perfect characterisation. Can I just say that I don't think he killed Ultron? Well, I don't think he killed Ultron. Something about what he said earlier got me thinking and I don't believe Ultron is entirely dead, maybe just contained within the Mind Stone. After all, it's where Ultron basically came from anyway.

The Vision was definitely a highlight for me, he translated so well onto the big screen

The only thing I'm wondering about now, is Adam Warlock

With the mind stone safe with the Vision, I wonder if they'll do something similar with Warlock and the soul stone, or if they'll even use Warlock

It's going to have a rough time with all the sporting events today.

But it should still settle around the same $207 million the first dragged in.

Should be a close one.

Fun movie.

Paul Bettany as the Vision is perfect. His persona and voice is what comes to mind when I think of Vision. But I think its inevitable thats his going to get his head ripped off by Thanos because of the Mind stone.

I am not hating on AOU at all but how do CinemaScore gets their votes? I mean it seems that just about every time I hear about CinemaScore for a film, the film gets an A.

How does CinemaScore gather their information?

There's a lot preventing AOU from breaking Avengers's record. You got the NFL draft, NHL and NBA playoffs, and the May-Pac fight. This movie will still crush the box office.

I really kinda wish they would have a new Avengers movie before they go to Civil War.

But that's just me.

@AlexanderLykins

No offense taken man, Warlock rocks, I really, really, want to see him in GOTG 2 or Doctor Strange leading into the Infinity War movies

The Vision was amazing in AOU but yeah, Vision in AOU and Warlock from the comics are definitely similar characters. I hope they utilize Warlock in the story, awesome character

I believe Cinema Scores get their data from polling people as they exit films. They must take representative (one hopes) samples.

Is it just me or did Vision seem more like Superman than MOS did? And no, I am hating MOS. I do have that movie on Blu-Ray.
