“The Avengers” came out big on Friday 5/4/12, grossing an estimated $18.7 million from midnight showings across the country to Disney. However, this was not enough to beat up the Hunger Games which brought in 19.7 million! However, they did beat out the Dark Knight which brought in about 18.5 million.  Most likely The Avengers will come in second place with the second most grossing opening weekend ever….behind the Hunger Games.
