Deadline reports that the total taken on Friday by
Marvel's The Avengers is in actual fact $80.5M; not the previously reported estimation of between $65M and $67M. This includes the $18.1M taken at midnight showings and puts the film on track for a record breaking $175M total through Sunday. This falls slightly short of the past Friday record of $91M set by
Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2 but does mean that the Joss Whedon helmed Marvel Studios film will take the record for highest grossing opening weekend ever. It also guarantees that it will have surpassed $500M by Monday and that doesn't even take into account the fact it opens in China and Russia this weekend too. Currently,
The Avengers has made $334.3M internationally and is on track for $575M worldwide.
