Avengers: Age of Ultron has reached another milestone this weekend, topping $1.1 billion worldwide. Hit the jump for details on that, an update on how it's performing internationally and domestically, and the chances of it topping the amount taken by The Avengers in 2012...

It was only a couple of days ago that Avengers: Age of Ultron hit $1 billion worldwide, but the sequel has now reached another milestone with a global haul of $1.142 billion. That's in big part down to its amazing performance in China, a country which has seen it take a whopping $156.3 million in just six days. Domestically, it's running 19% behind The Avengers, but 10% ahead of Iron Man 3. As a result, it's thought that Avengers: Age of Ultron will reach $450 million in North America (where it took an estimated $38.84 million this weekend for a total of $372.01 million). 

Overseas, the sequel has taken $770.5 million. Globally, it's the eight highest grossing movie of all-time and is still expected to surpass the $1.5 billion earned by The Avengers in 2012. Thoughts?

"... but the sequel has now reached another milestone with a global haul of $1.142 billion. That's in big part down to its amazing performance in China..."

Remember all those threads where people were convinced that the mere presence of Claudia Kim (who's Korean, btw) would be the ONLY reason for this movie doing well in China? And that she'd be completely shoehorned-in and have no actual impact on the plot itself?

Good times.

I don't see it surpassing the first movie's worldwide total. I do predict a $450M domestic total though...maybe even $470M.

Meanwhile, Mad Max: Fury Road was just F*CKING AWESOME! One of the best action movies I have ever seen. Everyone, go check it out! Also, the guitar guy just ROCKS!

They could have showed nothing but a blank white screen for 2 and a half hours and it still would have made a billion.

After the success first Avengers its almost impossible that every future marvel movies flops,the franchise it's too engrained,no matter now if the movie is good or bad people will go to see them anyway.
