Source? Avatar was absolutely huge outside of the US, so it really shouldn't be compared to Avengers to estimate how well movies are doing there lol. Compare it to The Dark Knight, Iron Man, Spider-Man 2 instead. |

I stull think it is a valid comparission as Avengers topped america. I know people in AUS talked about how it did and many decided to go watch it just because of that.
If you look at some of the latin american countries and asian countries, they exceeded Avatar even. I agree that it won't get to avatar numbers but would have expected atleast -30%-50% minimum in those countries compared to Avatar from the hype alone.
Now comparing to he dark knight:

Most the asian and latin american countries doubled gross for avengers over the dark knight. European ones are below or about on par (a few slightly more). Also I looked at a few on the countries and they had significantly more screening theaters for the avengers than for the dark knight and still did not managed to top it.
I think the state of the european economy atm has played some part in lower revenue and it is impacting on gaming atm too, which was the key thing I was trying to say.
