Weekend Box Office: Snow White and the Huntsman (3 JUN 2012)

Snow White and the Huntsman

Snow White and the Huntsman attracted strong interest on opening day, and wound up earning more than the next six movies combined. Meanwhile, Men in Black 3 had a decent hold in second place, while The Avengers passed two major milestones.

The Avengers eased 42 percent to $5.65 million. That was enough to push the movie past The Dark Knight ($533.3 million) to claim third place on the all-time domestic chart with $538.1 million. The movie also moved ahead of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 to take third on the all-time worldwide chart with $1.331 billion. That’s as high as The Avengers will go—there’s no way it catches James Cameron’s Avatar and Titanic—but it will wind up way over $1.4 billion before its run is over.
