While it had to settle for second place, The Avengers was still very impressive. The superhero team-up eased 34 percent to an estimated US$37 million, which is the second-highest fourth weekend ever behind Avatar's US$50.3 million. On Saturday, the movie set a new record by crossing the US$500 million mark in just 23 days. Through Sunday, The Avengers has earned US$513.7 million, and will pass The Dark Knight (US$533.3 million) by Friday to move in to third place on the all-time domestic chart.
Battleship crashed in its second outing, falling 58 percent to an estimated US$10.8 million for the three-day weekend. It's now made US$44.3 million, which is a fraction of recent Hasbro adaptations and is even off from star Taylor Kitsch's John Carter (US$53.2 million) through the same point. The Dictator fared a bit better, dipping 45 percent to an estimated US$9.6 million but that doesn't portend a lengthy box office run for the Sacha Baron Cohen comedy, which has now earned US$41.4 million.
