It's amazing how bad movies don't make any money, and they say the public just isn't watching movies this summer,, but Avengers makes bank, and it's an oddity.
Eh, they should have figured on Dark Shadows not doing better and making a movie about a board game still sounds like a bad idea.
Then films like Snow White & The Huntsman did better than expected and Prometheus might as well... plus that other Batman movie.
With Avengers, it has a good mix of adult & kid-friendly elements to it. So parents can take their kids to see it and not feel like they might see too much violence on-screen or complex elements that kids wouldn't get.
Part of its "oddity" is that adjusted for inflation it's getting near the ET/Gone With The Wind/Sound of Music/Star Wars territory in terms of box office performance, yet no one's mentioning it for Oscar stuff beyond effects. Which, also, sounds like Star Wars give or take musical score.
