The Avengers (may contain spoilers!)


Recommended Posts

Over-achieving again (official through the weekend) -

Domestic: $207.4 million

Worldwide: $654.8 million

$207.4M in the US alone is amazing. I believe that makes it the highest-grossing opening weekend ever (beating Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2, The Dark Knight, and The Hunger Games). I really hope this movie makes more money because it'll mean more Marvel movies. There's Iron Man 3 (May 2013), Thor 2 (November 2013), and Captain America 2 (April 2014).

lol.It was a great scene though.

Yeah, I missed it, I saw the one and thought "that is weird, they usually wait until the end of the credits completely." :/ :laugh:

And seriously, I would do terrible, awful, unspeakable things to Ms Johansson, almost all of which rhyme with duck. :uberhump:

My girlfriend and I saw the movie Sunday night. It was really, really good. I loved every second of it.

I get to see movies for free since my brother is a manager at a local theater, but this movie is one of a very select few that I would actually pay to see it again.

Never, ever would I ever see you type anything like that in my lifetime on Neowin. :laugh:

I hope it smashes TDK but we all know TDKR will smash Avengers :wacko:

Awesome movie. Also, Hulk smash + Loki = Whole theatre loling

Yes that was one of the funniest moments of the film. I wish Hulk would have said: "God my ass" instead of the original line he said....LOL

It was a great movie. A sequel is definately coming and the dude that played Dr. Banner was awesome.

Oh, and Black Widow....What a sexy woman. Damn!

The sight of Hulk doing serial body slams with Loki's sorry butt caused cheering, laughing, screaming and in general enough racket so you could just hear the line - then it started up all over again :)

I swear they'd better get a sh**load of Hulk costumes ready for Halloween because all the kids (and several dads) went totally nuts mimicking that scene on the way out.

Still at the start of its rapidly-increasing box office take, Marvel's The Avengers is already set to be followed next year by Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 with Captain America 2 following in 2014.

Today, Disney Chairman and CEO Bob Iger spoke with CNBC about the massive success of Marvel's The Avengers and what it means for the future of the cinematic Marvel Universe.

"The Avengers isn't just a film," says Iger. "It's a franchise from our perspective. Obviously, it was helped a lot by the success of the 'Iron Man' movies and of 'Thor' and 'Captain America'. From 'The Avengers' we get a chance to make 'Thor 2' and 'Captain America 2' and 'Iron Man 3' and hopefully another 'Avengers' movie. So this one film that is immensely successful... is going to get a number of other films and franchises."

In addition to the films he lists, the studio has announced plans for an as-of-yet-undisclosed project to be released on May 16, 2014. There's no confirmation yet on whether or not that will be a sequel or if it might be based on a new Marvel Universe character.

"We have an ability to leverage what was a very fun film done by a great group of filmmakers into something much bigger for the company," he continues, "and the effect will be prolonged and that's very, very exciting for us."

The U.S. Defense Department didnt want to lend jets for the movie because they had a problem with S.H.I.E.L.D. :/

"We couldn't reconcile the unreality of this international organization and our place in it," Phil Strub, the Defense Department's Hollywood liaison, tells Danger Room. "To whom did S.H.I.E.L.D. answer? Did we work for S.H.I.E.L.D.? We hit that roadblock and decided we couldn't do anything" with the film.

There's no curbing the superhero strength of The Avengers.

The Disney and Marvel Studios tentpole topped the Friday box office with a stellar $29.1 million and could become the first movie in history to earn $100 million in its second weekend. Either way, it will race past the previous second-weekend record of $75 million set by both Avatar and The Dark Knight.

Moreover, Avengers could hit $1 billion worldwide sometime on Sunday, matching Avatar and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 in terms of speed. Through Friday, the pic's worldwide cume was $854.3 million, including a domestic haul of $299.1 million and international total of $555.2 million.

Internationally, Avengers has already eclipsed the three Spider-Man pics and The Dark Knight to become the most successful superhero title of all time overseas.

With Avengers still sucking up most of the oxygen at the multiplex, Tim Burton's latest Johnny Depp event pic Dark Shadows got off to a muted start at the domestic box office on Friday, grossing $9.7 million.

    • Apple releases iOS 26.5.2 with dozens of security fixes for iPhone by Karthik Mudaliar Apple has released iOS 26.5.2 and iPadOS 26.5.2, which are security-only updates for the iPhone and the iPad. The update brings a bunch of security fixes for WebKit, WebRTC, WebKit Storage, WebKit Canvas, Web Extensions, libxslt, IOGPUFamily, and even the kernel. Some of the WebKit issues that were fixed could have allowed malicious web content to disclose sensitive user information, exfiltrate cross-origin data, crash Safari, or process restricted web content outside the browser sandbox. One notable WebKit Storage bug could let a malicious website to silently hijack clipboard data, according to Apple’s description. Other WebKit-related flaws involved memory corruption, use-after-free bugs, type confusion, out-of-bounds writes, permissions problems, and cross-origin data handling issues. The update also includes three kernel-related fixes. Apple says one of the flaws could let an app write kernel memory or cause unexpected system termination, while another may leak sensitive kernel state, and a third could corrupt kernel memory or terminate the system unexpectedly. Although Apple hasn't described them as remote web attacks, kernel bugs are still important to fix, as they can sometimes be chained with other flaws to escape app or browser restrictions. The updates are available for iPhone 11 and later, iPad Pro 12.9-inch 3rd generation and later, iPad Pro 11-inch 1st generation and later, iPad Air 3rd generation and later, iPad 8th generation and later, and iPad mini 5th generation and later. Similar security fixes also came with the latest update to macOS Tahoe 26.5.2, which Apple released on the same day. That overlap is not surprising, since Safari, WebKit, WebRTC, and other underlying components are shared across Apple’s platforms. Users are advised to update their devices sooner rather than later as these security fixes are crucial. iOS 26.5.2 can be installed from Settings > General > Software Update. Similarly, Mac users can find macOS Tahoe 26.5.2 through System Settings > General > Software Update.
