Surprising...

Is anyone else surprised by how much of a mega hit "The Avengers" has become? I am blown away for one. I don't really remember hearing that much about this movie before it came out, people weren't talking about it the way they went on and on about "Avatar" before it hit the theaters, but for some reason "The Avengers" is coming close to being as big a success as "Avatar" was. It has set a new opening weekend record at $200.3 million knocking "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows" off it's mark at $169.2 million. It such a short time it has even wiped "The Hunger" games from everyones memory, and so soon after it came out. I am just flabbergasted, and now I have to see it.
