IMAX grossed more than $21.1M this weekend, bringing the total for
Marvel's The Avengers screenings in that format to approximately $31.2M worldwide. $6.1M of that was from international locations (an extremely impressive figure considering the fact that the film is now in its second week of release overseas) and $1.1M of that was from China alone. However, there was a slight problem (well, for moviegoers that is) in North America this weekend as IMAX ended up running out of seats to sell! The superhero ensemble grossed $15M from 275 domestic screens and this puts it at either the same or perhaps slightly more than the figure made by
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 last year. So, there's ANOTHER record for Marvel to brag about! Many thanks to
Deadline for the figures above. In addition, listed below are some more of the records broken by
The Avengers this weekend.
International figures for
The Avengers so far in key territories are: UK $48.1M, Mexico $40.2M, Australia $32.2M, Korea $31.3M, Brazil $31.0M, France $26.4M, Italy $18.8M, Germany $18.3M, Russia $17.9M, China $17.4M, Spain $14.4M, Taiwan $14.3M, Philippines $11.5M.
