We've all seen the avengers,
well if you haven‘t seen it then you should do so today. “The movie is awesome”
- that’s what anybody who has seen it would say, but why? Was it because of the
actors, the concept behind the movie, the fact that the movie was over hyped or
is it because we all love watching superheroes fighting. What is it that made the
avengers so good and how on earth did the movie manage to make over a billion
dollars within a month; which I can proudly say no big Nigerian bank can make in 3 months.
Why? What? How? When? Where?
Okay, I don’t have an answer
to any of the questions posed, but here’s what I think. The movie was awesome.
The Avengers is now the new
king of the opening weekend. The movie grossed an unprecedented $200.3 million
in its Friday-Sunday box-office debut.
The film easily bested the
opening-weekend performances of the Marvel Studios movies whose hero-stars were
assembled for The Avengers: Iron Man ($99 million)
and Iron Man 2 ($128 million); Thor ($66
million); and, Captain America ($65 million).
It blew away even the
superhero-record $158.4 million posted by The Dark Knight, and
raised the bar considerably for the Batman franchise's upcoming
adventure, The Dark Knight Rises, due out July 20.
The Avengers made money the
old-fashioned way: Everybody bought tickets.
The opening-weekend
audience was evenly split between the young (under age 25) and the older (over
age 25), polling data showed. It was watched by women (40 percent) almost as
much as men. It worked as a date-night movie (55 percent of ticket-buyers were part
of couples), and a family movie (24 percent were part of a family group).
And then there was perhaps
the quaintest thing of all: People went to see it in 3-D.
The budget of the movie
was $220 million but presently the movie has made around $1,295,272,000 (over a $billion).
