The Avengers Released In UK Today & It's Already Smashing The Box-Office

The Avengers has already racked up $12.5 million dollars - and that doesn't include the fact it opened in the UK and Germany today!

Unless you've been living under a rock and haven't realised that Avengers Assemble (or The Avengers, whichever you want to call it) has been unleashed on us mere mortals, where have you been? The international figures for the gigantic superhero ensemble film, which stars Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans and Mark Ruffalo amongst others, have been rolling in and are looking extremely impressive. In total, The Avengers has racked up $12.5 million dollars - and that doesn't include the fact it opened in the UK and Germany today! The astonishing figure has been made up from opening day box office sales in Australia, France, the Phillipines and New Zealand - taking $6.2 million in Australia alone. Clearly the Australians have quite a love for our worldly heroes, with The Avengers enjoying the largest opening sales compared to any other superhero release (The Dark Knight, $2.5 million and Iron Man, $1.8 million) to date. When you take in to account that these sales are for a Wednesday - it seems that there isn't a villain in sight that will be able to prevent against total domination. It will be interesting to see opening weekend sales figures, as the UK and Germany will have its sales from today, and India, Mexico and Brazil amongst others joining in the fight as of tomorrow (Friday). Unfortunately America will have to wait a little longer, alongside Canada, Indonesia and Turkey who won't be getting in on the action until May 4th. Please bare in mind that the Japanese will be waiting until August 17th to bring the support. We feel your pain, and we'll keep up the good work for you. It's fair to say that the sales figures are mimicking the anticipation that we all knew was brewing under the surface, and now it has finally been released it doesn't look like it's stopping any time soon. Loki, do your worst. Avengers Assemble is released today (April 26th) in the UK, and May 4th 2012 in the US.
