Box office report: 'Avengers' smashes 2nd weekend record with $103.2M passes $1 billion worldwide Wow

Of course Tony Stark wasn’t satisfied with just one weekend of headlines! After its record-demolishing $207.4 million debut last weekend, The Avengers easily stayed atop the box office in its second frame, soaring to $103.2 million (a drop of only 50 percent) over the Friday-to-Sunday period. That figure crushes the second weekend box office record, which was formerly held by Avatar with its $75.6 million sophomore frame. Incredibly, The Avengers’ 50 percent drop is the smallest second weekend decline of any film that achieved one of the Top 10 opening weekends of all time. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 fell by 72 percent after its $169.1 million debut.
