After Friday's box office receipts are totaled, "The Avengers" was set Tuesday to become the third highest-grossing film in box office history, behind "Avatar" and "Titanic."
Directed by cult favorite Joss Whedon, the Walt Disney Studios high-thrills action adventure made in collaboration with Marvel Comics earned $7 million over the weekend, for a total of $598 million since its release in early May.
And it was expected to cross the $600 million US box office threshold on Tuesday, Disney said in a statement.
Its global total is now an estimated $1,438.3 million.Labels: Movies
