It's Mother's Day weekend in North America this weekend, so take your mom to see Avengers: Age of Ultron! In fact, it sounds like that's exactly what is going to happen, as box office analysts are predicting an impressive haul of around $85 million this weekend. As per usual, that's just an educated guess at this point, but it will be interesting to see if the sequel exceeds expectations after taking a dent last weekend because of a variety of sporting events. It reached the $200 million mark after just four days, beaten only by The Avengers which achieved that feat in three.
Avengers: Age of Ultron faces competition from Hot Pursuit, the action comedy which stars Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara. Reviews have been brutal though, so word of mouth won't help that one and it probably won't make any sort of dent. There are a few other small releases (Maggie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger will get a limited run), but the sequel is free and clear until Mad Max: Fury Road comes out next week. As of right now, the movie's domestic total is $217.6 million, and with $478.2 million from overseas, it has a worldwide total of $695.9 million.
