Then look at a more focused "fair" comparison http://www.boxofficemojo.com/showdowns/chart/?view=weekly&id=usblockbuster.htm

It compares The Avengers, Avatar and JWs domestic weekly totals with alligned launches. I'll just be pointing out a few things compared to the avengers. It was up the first 3 weeks by almost 51 million. Week 4 it lost 10 million of that lead but it's still 40 million ahead. This week it will probably be up again unless JW gets less than 10 million combined monday to Thursday.

Something else that that chart shows that is interesting is how long it took Avengers to get it's total. 22 weeks and while for the most part it was dropping off every week, though come week 18 it had a big jump, it expanded from 123 theaters to 1705 and it's total grew from 164,000 to 2.7 million.

That's US only.

I did mention domestic in my post. As well as saying more focused, since you wanted fair. While it's only the largest market it does help show the clear picture that JW won't be struggling to pass the avengers. As well as how it made the money faster.
