THE AVENGERS Roar, Opening To Record Numbers Overseas!

Avengers assemble is right! Wow. The Marvel superhero ensemble has stepped up and delivered in a big way in some smaller markets hinting at what is to come in the coming weeks worldwide.

THE AVENGERS held the highest and second highest opening numbers of all time in New Zealand and Australia respectively. Taiwan also had it's opening day record smashed by Cap and his team.

Projections for North America are illuminating a potential $150 million + opening! Personally I think it will be closer to an eye opening $200m. MovieTickets.com have said that pre-sales are out pacing IRON MAN, IRON MAN 2, CAPTAIN AMERICA and THOR... COMBINED. Yeah, it's that good folks.

THE AVENGERS open in North America on May 4.
