The Avengers Cross $1.5 Billion Mark

Anything Batman can do, The Avengers can do better it would seem. For no sooner has The Dark Knight Rises crossed the $1 billion mark at the global box office than the Marvel team-up movie has made $1.5 billion.

Following The Avengers’ American re-released over the Labor Day weekend, the film added a further 2.2m to its total gross, hitting the $620m mark domestically.

And as of Monday, it had made $1.502 billion worldwide.

Ignoring inflation and the higher price of a modern-day or 3D ticket, The Avengers is now the third most successful film in history, with only the James Cameron one-two punch of Avatar and Titanic ahead.

Chris Tilly is the Entertainment Editor for IGN and saw The Avengers a grand total of twice. His idle chit-chat can be found on both Twitter and MyIGN.
