It turns out that Marvel’s The Avengers were more powerful than everyone thought. Not only did it break expectations, but it actually made more money over this past weekend than what analysts initially reported on Sunday afternoon.

It is now being reported that the Joss Whedon-directed film made $207.4 million in just three days since its release early Friday in the U.S. It played on 4,349 screens, most of those in 3D, averaging $47,698 per screen.

Initial estimates released on Sunday afternoon showed that the film made $200.3 million, which was still far better than the $160 million opening many expected. Plus, no matter what the final number turned out to be, The Avengers still broke the $169.2 million mark that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 set on its opening weekend last year.

According to Entertainment Weekly, final numbers also show that The Avengers became the first movie ever to cross $150 million in just two days and $200 million in just three.

Even the start of the week didn’t slow down The Avengers. On Monday, it added $18.9 million to its domestic total.

Add in foreign box office numbers and The Avengers’ success is even more staggering. The Hollywood Reporter reports that it has reached $475.8 million overseas, thanks to early release dates in several markets. In just 13 days of release worldwide, The Avengers has made $700 million.

No amount of planing can stop the Avengers.

TDKR doesnt have a chance of cracking 200M's. It doesnt have inflated 3D ticket prices, probably wont be in as many theatres. Plus Avengers was monster hyped and anticipated.

Movie was good too, a lot of positive hype. Avengers played out like it came directly from a comic book.

at least you know the truth

box office draw should only matter to execs unless you like to be shoveled shyt like transformers and battleship....

fortunately the avengers did the campy thing right unlike spider man 3, x men origins, thor, captain america, green lantern, and x men 3
