'The Avengers' reaches $1 billion worldwide after $100M weekend in US








LOS ANGELES ? "The Avengers" has already reached the billion-dollar mark at the worldwide box office.


The superhero blockbuster took in $103.2 million in the US to lead for a second-straight weekend, raising its domestic total to $373.2 million. With $95.4 million more overseas, "The Avengers" lifted its international receipts to $628.9 million for a worldwide haul of just over $1 billion.


The action smash from Disney's Marvel Studios easily fended off Johnny Depp and Tim Burton's vampire romp "Dark Shadows," which had a so-so domestic start of $28.8 million to finish a distant No. 2.


That's far below such past Depp-Burton collaborations as "Alice in Wonderland," which opened with $116.1 million, and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," which debuted with $56.2 million

Avengers didnt break all records, they are still a far cry from avatar or titanic! Both James Cameron Films

And yet the industry faces loss and whom to blame, the pirates?

Guess what, almost 90% of them must have made the contribution lol.
