Living up to the massive hype with beyond-impressive numbers, “The Avengers” is situated atop the box office with year’s best earnings to begin the weekend of May 4-6, 2012. The Joss Whedon directed superhero blockbuster boasting an all-star cast including Robert Downey Jr, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth blazed out of the gates with a whopping $70 million in ticket sales on Friday which sets the projected opening weekend at $160 million – the second highest ever only behind the $169 million record held by “Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2”. Getting knocked into the runner-up position is last weekend’s triumphant film “Think Like a Man,” as the Steve Harvey book-based comedy starring Meagan Good and Gabrielle Union nabbed $2. 6 million on Friday with an anticipated weekend pull of $8. 0 million. Rounding out the top five at the box office in estimated totals are the Jennifer Lawrence starring blockbuster “The Hunger Games” ($6. 7 million), followed by the Zac Efron and Taylor Schilling fronted drama “The Lucky One” ($6 million) and a tie for fifth place between Judd Apatow’s “The Five-Year Engagement” and Peter Lord & Jeff Newitt’s animated tale “The Pirates! Band of Misfits” ($5. 9 million).
