With Dark Shadows (Tim Burton) giving a weak competition, The Avengers had no trouble at all being at the first place for its second week. It fell 50% to $103.1 million, which is by-far the best second weekend ever ahead of Avatar‘s $75.6 million. It also topped The Dark Knight for best second weekend hold for a movie that opened to more than $120 million.
