Avengers sequel tops the charts
LOS ANGELES (AP), USA — The Age of Ultron is not over. The Avengers sequel topped the domestic box office for the second weekend in a row with an estimated US$77.2 million according to Rentrak estimates yesterday.
The film has earned a staggering US$312.9 million in just 10 days in theatres, tying with The Dark Knight to become the second-fastest film to do so.
While a wild success by any measure, the film is still lagging behind the record-setting precedent of 2012’s The Avengers, which made US$103.1 million in its second weekend in theatres and had a domestic total of US$373 million at the same point in the cycle.
