The Avengers Smashes Opening-Weekend Record with $207.1 Million!
Quote:
The Avengers is the new king of the opening weekend.
The film is the first to break $200 million in three days. It destroyed the mark held by the previous weekend record-holder, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.

Also, Indians didn't like India's Kolkata slum portrayal in the film.
Quote:
"Kolkata has a rich culture and heritage, and a filmmaker should respect that," Bollywood star Rituparna Sengupta, who lives in Kolkata, told the Hindustan Times. "There are two scenes about India, and they only show slums. It could have been done in better taste."
"It is disturbing to see the murky underbelly of India in Hollywood films," added fellow actor Neha Dhupia. "But before pointing it out to the west, we need to make efforts to change their perception about us."
"When will Hollywood stop cashing in on the poverty here?" a bank employee named Rishabh Bal told the paper.
