"The Avengers" is Now Ninth Highest-Grossing Film of All-Time


From worstpreviews, Walt Disney Pictures is reporting that "The Avengers" is now the ninth highest-grossing movie of all time at the worldwide box office. The film's global take currently stands at $1.036 billion.

"The Avengers" surpassed the studio's "Alice in Wonderland" ($1.024 billion) and "Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace" ($1.027 billion). It is now the highest-grossing film of 2012, passing "The Hunger Games" in just twelve days.

The movie should easily pass the next three films, which are all Disney films: "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" ($.104 billion), "Toy Story 3" ($1.063 billion), and "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" ($1.066 billion).

Go, Avengers, go!

I don't have any ill will towards Avatar, but for some reason I want to see Avengers beat it.

Here is Wiki's list of top-grossing films. Man, they're not even halfway there yet.

Oh I think The Avenger will easily take the number 1 spot soon enough. I mean, come on, how can it not beat Transformers?

I have plenty of ill-will towards Avatar, so this is great. I always feel better during periods when the top-grosser is something I like, even though it really doesn't matter. We're so far past the period when any of the real classic title-holders (The Godfather, Star Wars) were anywhere near the top slots (since it's been made statistically impossible).
