BOX OFFICE: MARVEL'S THE AVENGERS Already Nearing $200M Overseas

Just yesterday we told you that the superhero ensemble has passed $73M overseas, and it's now hurtling towards a whopping $180M after just a few days of release! At this point, $1B seems inevitable. Hit the jump for details.

Deadline reports that Marvel's The Avengers current international box office stands at $178.4M after its first five days of release in 39 territories. The film has seen the highest opening of all time in everywhere from Mexico to Brazil, Argentina, Central America, Peru, and Boliva, while Asian markets such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Philippines also set records. Record breaking massive openings are currently expected in nations such as Russia, China and Japan (and of course, North America on May 4th). As you can see from the Tweets below, it's beginning to look more and more likely that Joss Whedon's superhero ensemble will easily hit $1B.

Wow. Nice!

Zmania - 4/29/2012, 8:25 AM

Gunna see this movie as many times as I can to give them the money they deserve for this film.

Visualiza - 4/29/2012, 8:26 AM

More like 1B inevitable at this point. Honestly if this movie doesn't hit a billion then the worlds population must have died of some crazy new disease. The hype levels are off the charts.

Wildaniel - 4/29/2012, 8:27 AM

I think im gonna die before MAY 4, lol. Why does USA have to be the last ones to wait?

NerdyGeek - 4/29/2012, 8:34 AM

imnotahero - 4/29/2012, 8:34 AM

I gave in and already watched the movie online. I'm so happy/ ashamed of that decision. I'll still be there opening night.

NerdyGeek - 4/29/2012, 8:35 AM

imnotahero: You're not an Avengers fan. Please, go...

ManofSteel23 - 4/29/2012, 8:46 AM

Im going to go see it a 3rd time sometime next week

Luis75 - 4/29/2012, 8:47 AM

By far, the best Marvel Movie I've seen and I hope it makes a $ Billion Worldwide.

Kayo - 4/29/2012, 8:47 AM

HELL YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS............3 MORE DAYS TO GO

santoanderson - 4/29/2012, 8:47 AM

Wait, the [frick]ing movie is open in Mexico and not the US? What has this world come to?

peppy - 4/29/2012, 8:51 AM

[frick] YES!!!!!!. I might see this again , I've already seen it three times . But [frick] ME it's worth it. Best comic book movie ever . NUFF SAID CHUMPS !!!!

shadyginzo - 4/29/2012, 8:51 AM

@mystery - I was about to ridecule your notion of it ever taking AVATAR's throne until I looked up the numbers, I think it's $10mil ahead of where Avatar was internationally on opening week end. completely agree Avatar is over-rated sh*te so even the glimpse of this possibility excites me

no... no, that could never happen? surely???

NeoBaggins - 4/29/2012, 8:53 AM

I saw THOR three times. So, if it's half as good as they say, I could do a threepete plus on this.

headlopper - 4/29/2012, 8:54 AM

Good. My stock portfolio is looking brilliant.
Avenger's Assemble!...every damn dollar!
He-he.

BooYah - 4/29/2012, 8:56 AM

Can't wait to watch this on May 5th. I remember how far it seemed when Cap first came out now were so close!

THORGodOfThunder - 4/29/2012, 8:57 AM

YEAAA BUDDDYYYY

Mrcool210 - 4/29/2012, 8:58 AM

this movies gonna make SOOOOOOOOOO much money

thewonderer - 4/29/2012, 8:59 AM

Does anyone have the ratings for Avatar or Titanic or Star Wars Episode 1 before they reached billion?

I'd like to track it and see how possible it is

thewonderer - 4/29/2012, 9:00 AM

@Dev

Agreed. I hope all this acclaim for the Hulk makes them give him a well deserved sequel as well

Hellsing - 4/29/2012, 9:02 AM

I don't think you yanks understand properly but believe or.not the worlds actually bigger than the world. And if jack sparrow 4 can make 700+ internationally then I don't see why the avengers can't. Any ways the movie was so god damn awesome can't wait to watch it again.

GreyChaos13Zero - 4/29/2012, 9:03 AM

great news, right around the corner for us. can't wait?)

peppy - 4/29/2012, 9:05 AM

Yeah man after seeing avengers the hulk was spot on , it was [frick]ing insane . He must get a sequel now surely somewhere in the nearby future . Because he was incredible indeed .

Hellsing - 4/29/2012, 9:05 AM

And why are people promoting the bootleg on here can some one please block the fools that are posting the bootlegs from he site please.

Irons - 4/29/2012, 9:07 AM

That is nuts... 700 M is possible overseas

Hellsing - 4/29/2012, 9:08 AM

By the way Ruffalo stole the show.

peppy - 4/29/2012, 9:08 AM

@ RunDTC seriously bro pull that shit down , that's not cool for the American fans .

peppy - 4/29/2012, 9:09 AM

Whoever promotes bootleg (pirated ) movies should just leave this site . You are not a fan if the industry .

peppy - 4/29/2012, 9:10 AM

*of*

JTheMostAwesome - 4/29/2012, 9:12 AM

^
I agree with EVERYTHING that peppy just said ^

Irons - 4/29/2012, 9:13 AM

@UncannyXMan

They're taking advantage of weak overseas competition. Since Battleship has already been out, it's really only Men in Black III and that's not coming for a long time.

NeoBaggins - 4/29/2012, 9:13 AM

A bootleg can't stop this. It's like throwing a tennis ball into the sun.
