Avengers is a feature film by Jos Whedon, based on Marvel comics. The film is a continuation of such creations of the cinema as "Iron Man", "The Incredible Hulk", "Iron Man-2", "Thor" and "The First Avenger". The fictional Marvel universe was so loved by the audience that the 2012 Avengers were well received by the public.
The film "Avengers" tells the story of how the Scandinavian god Loki makes a deal with an alien race. According to the terms of the contract, aliens provide Loki with an army to capture humanity in exchange for a tessaract - an inexhaustible source of energy. Superheroes - Iron Man Tony Stark, Captain America, Hawkeye, Hulk and Black Widow - come out to fight the threat. Also, Loki's stepbrother Thor arrives on Earth to pick up the apostate in Asgard.
In addition to the characters themselves, who managed to fall in love with the audience, the film is also good for its cast. Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hiddleston and many other celebrities took part in the filming, which also attracted the attention of the public.
According to preliminary forecasts, taking into account the audience’s interest in the previous parts, as well as the number of tickets ordered online, the fees for the first days of rental were supposed to reach $ 125, 000, 000, then this figure was raised to $ 150, 000, 000. In reality, the success of the cinematographic work exceeded all expectations. The tape has become more popular than the paintings "The Dark Knight" and "The Hunger Games", which gained record amounts for the first three days of hire.
By the amount of box office receipts for the second and third weekend rentals, the Avengers could not overtake only Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. And the number of preliminary tickets ordered via the Internet exceeded their number for the films "Thor", "First Avenger" and "Iron Man-2" combined.
