Age of Ultron had the second biggest US opening ever, but still lost to the original Avengers
Age of Ultron wasn’t able to dethrone the original Avengers at the US box office this weekend, opening to a huge $187 million weekend but still falling short of the $207 million opening of its predecessor, according to Box Office Mojo. Ultron was forecasted to come in ahead of the original Avengers, which would have meant taking over the title of all-time biggest opener and making suits at Marvel and Disney very, very happy. They certainly still have little to complain about — Ultron also brought in $439 million internationally and is yet to open in Japan or China — but it’s also a sign, however slight, that Marvel’s power has its limits.
