After a few years of waiting, at last I was able to watch The Avengers at SM Megamall last Aug 26th. And I must say, it was worth the wait! From the moment the movie started, I had goosebumps all over from the anticipation and thrill. I was so glad to have been there to be one of the many who waited for this movie of the year! And I knew that this movie would surpass the gross sale of the top movies from the past, and it did. Below is the sales it had after it opened in the Philippines cinema and the other countries as well.
“THE AVENGERS” MAKES P281-M IN 5 DAYS,
BIGGEST OPENING EVER IN HISTORY!
MANILA, April 30, 2012 – It's the superhero team up of a lifetime. Now, it's shaping up to be the highest-grossing film – for all time!
“Marvel's The Avengers” rewrote Philippine box-office record books when it grossed a monumental P281-million opening weekend gross nationwide – the biggest debut ever in history, this was revealed by Victor R. Cabrera, managing director of Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Philippines.
“It's practically a box office tsunami that has so far drowned, wiped out and rewritten every local record in its first five days of play,” adds Cabrera.
Foremost of the records to fall is the highest opening weekend, previously set by “Spider-Man 3” at P236-million (a benchmark set in 6 days back in 2007).
Since it opened last Wednesday, April 25, “Marvel's The Avengers” has surpassed daily records in its path set by various blockbusters:
Biggest Wednesday Ever: P56.6-M, beating “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’s” P55.4-M.
Biggest Thursday Ever: P44.1M, smashing “Spider-man 3’s P28.4-M
Biggest Friday Ever: P45.3-M, outgrossing “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1’s” P44.1-M.
Biggest Saturday Ever: P66.4-M, breaking “Transformers: Dark of the Moon’s” P60.8-M.
Biggest Sunday Ever: P68.5M, outlasting “Transformers: Dark of the Moon’s” P60.8M. Sunday's receipts for “The Avengers” also now holds the distinction of the all-time biggest single-day gross in the country.
Other milestones achieved were fastest time to cross the P100-million mark (in only two days) and P200-million (four days).
With another non-working holiday looming tomorrow, May 1, box office sales for “The Avengers” may be set for more records.
Playing in almost 500 screens, “The Avengers” posted the biggest sales in SM North EDSA (P17.85-M), SM Mall of Asia (P15.02-M), SM Megamall (P12.51-M), Trinoma (P10.27-M), SM Cebu (P9.53-M), Glorietta 4 (P7.60-M), SM Southmall (P6.76-M), Newport City (P6.64-M) and SM Fairview (P6.63-M).
Rounding out the Top 20 cinemas are Gateway (P6.06-M), Eastwood (P5.58-M), Power Plant (P5.49-M), Greenbelt 3 (P5.13-M), Festival Mall (P5.08-M), Robinsons Ermita (P4.77-M), Robinsons Galleria (P4.73-M), Alabang Town Center (P4.63-M), Market! Market! (P4.50-M), Shang Cineplex (P4.30-M) and Ayala Cinemas Cebu (P4.27-M).
Overseas, the superhero film also bowed in 38 other territories and has brought in a whopping $178.4 million since opening April 25. It opened at No.1 in every single one of those territories while setting opening weekend records in many South and Central American countries. Some of the individual numbers include $24.7 million from the UK, $19.7 million from Australia, $15.9 million from Mexico and $12.9 million from Korea.

It had all the action, drama, and even comedy mixed so beautifully that you definitely would be entertained from beginning to end. You wouldn't even realize the time because of how much you'll enjoy watching it. Me and my fiance had to watch it again because I insisted we watch it in IMAX. The first time we saw it was under regular cinema, and I must say it was so much worth the price. I really enjoyed it so much that I even forgot that I was watching it the second time around! Each character's portrayal was so amazing and I laughed so hard on Hulk's funny side like after he tossed Loki around and said "Puny god" afterwards.
I'm even more anticipating the Blu Ray of this movie because it will contain 30mins of extra footage not shown from the movie! I wonder how long it will take before the sequel comes out? Would it be Infinity Gauntlet or an Infinity War?
