It's official! The Joss Whedon-directed superhero epic The Avengers
is now third highest-grossing film of all time worldwide, just behind Avatar
and Titanic...
Well, this is rather a huge accomplishment for Marvel Studios: The Avengers is
now officially the third highest-grossing movie ever domestically (The Dark
Knight previously held that spot), with James Cameron's Avatar and Titanic
being #1 and #2. And this is where the film will stay, as it probably won't
manage to pass Titanic's gross (with the re-release). According to Box Office,
the Joss Whedon-directed film managed to add another $5.6 million on Friday,
which means the total gross is now $538.116 million. And it also passed Harry
Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 for a #3 spot at the global box office.
