That would explain why Hero(1992) was not listed. Others I often use for validation are not going to be there either.

Knowing that it uses critics helps understand why it will be wrong so often.

It is not wrong. The metacritic critics from around the whole wide world like Avengers 2 more than Avengers 1 and so #2 is selling more tickets than #1 did.

On the other hand, Rotten Tomatoes has got it wrong with its reviews of Avengers #2 rated lower, and sinking fast, compared to Avengers #1.

Was 83, then 81, now 78 for Avengers: Age of Ultron at

92 for The Avengers (2012) www.rottentomatoes.com/m/marvels_the_avengers

Avengers 2 Dominated (Almost) Every Country This Weekend

Joss Whedon’s Avengers 2 has been dominating the foreign box office, winning all 26 of the markets in which it opened so far.

Avengers: Age of Ultron ended the weekend with $201 million total, earning the top spot in all 44 territories in which it opened, surpassing the already high expectations. The IMAX returns are the largest non-China international opening of all time with $10.4 million. Breaking records and taking no prisoners, the $279 million blockbuster held a 96 percent market share in Korea, 79 percent in Australia, 75 percent in Germany, and 91 percent in Russia. Collectively, it made $44.8 million in two days, 40 percent more than the first Avengers. – www.vulture.com/2015/04/avengers-2-dominated-almost-every-country.html

Yanno, I failed to factor in the It's-been-a-long-boring-winter-and this-is-the-first-big-blockbuster-of-Spring factor...

I guess the rest of half the planet feels the same. Even with the negative comments I've read I know I'll be in line for it Friday.

It is not wrong.

I meant wrong in the sense of critical review, not as predictor of Box Office revenue.
Once upon a time, movie reviews were intended to help moviegoers decide which film to see, or if they would see a film - if it was worth it.

Oooops.
Avengers 207 Million opening.
Ultron 191 Million opening.

It sounds like Ultron will not overtake Avengers at the Box Office.
Is Avengers still the record holder? Has no other overtaken it?

Avengers holds the record for biggest opening weekend, but overall it is the third highest money-maker behind Avatar and Titanic.

Thanks. Do you think opener record will be challenged this year?
