The Avengers Blasts Box Office, Poised for Second-Biggest Opening in Movie History

The Avengers

  BOX OFFICE

(Marvel)

It's going to be a MASSIVE weekend for The Avengers.

The long-awaited, hugely hyped and critically praised superhero extravaganza is projected to hit $160 million in its opening, obliterating the competition and giving it the second-best debut in movie history.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 ($169M) should remain the all-time record-holder, but The Avengers could top The Dark Knight ($158M) and The Hunger Games ($152M).

Numbers for The Avengers will shift over the course of the weekend, and Gossip Cop will have updates.

Meanwhile, Think Like A Man should fall to #2 with $8 million, ahead of The Hunger Games, still potent enough for $6.5 million and third place in its seventh week of release.

A trio of holdovers ' Pirates! Band of Misfits, The Five-Year Engagement and The Lucky One ' are all on track for $5.5 to $6 million.

The Raven ($2.8 million) should edge out Safe (2.6 million) for seventh place, with Chimpanzee ($2.2 million) and The Three Stooges ($1.8 million) rounding out the Top 10.
