The superhero blockbuster set another record in the process, finishing with the highest second weekend box office haul in Hollywood history: $102.3 million. Avatar had held the previous mark.

It also set the pace by becoming the fastest film to ever earn more than $300 domestically, accomplishing the feat in nine days. Sorry, The Dark Knight. It's now second place for you.

  1. The Avengers: $103.2 million
  2. Dark Shadows – $28.2 million
  3. Think Like A Man: $6.3 million
