| ‘The Avengers’ Assemble For a Record Summer Kick-Off! |
Yes, you read that correctly: $200.3 million! (Far surpassing the $150 million expected!) This is the biggest North American debut in box office history, obliterating the previous record of $169.2 million set by Harry Potter 7, Part 2 last year. Hard to believe it was almost 10 years ago to the day when Sony’s first Spider-Man movie kicked off the summer of 2002 with the first (and then unthinkable) $100 million plus opening weekend.
Directed by Joss Whedon, The Avengers features the combined superhero star power of Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Hulk, Hawkeye, and Back Widow. As the kick-off film of the summer movie season, this fanboy’s dream come true will got added box office horsepower from its 3-D and IMAX showings. IMAX literally ran out of seats w/$15+ million domestic (which is neck and neck w Potter 7, Pt.2 for IMAX record), a $21.1M Global weekend and $31M WW in IMAX since its debut! The international figures are just as astonishing: $151.5 million for the weekend and $441.5 million since the film’s debut overseas. In total the film has earned an incredible $641.8 million in worldwide box office!

| May 2, 2012 - Scarlett Johansson Likely for Cat On a Hot Tin Roof Broadway Revival |
|
Tony Award winner Scarlett Johansson is close to finalizing a deal to return to Broadway in a revival of Tennessee Williams’ Cat On a Hot Tin Roof, according to Variety.
In April, “Avengers” star and Academy Award-nominated “Hurt Locker” actor Jeremy Renner revealed that he was considering starring as Brick in a Broadway run of Cat On a Hot Tin Roof along with Johansson as Maggie.
“I’m close to making a deal on it and I cannot wait absolutely to get to it. I’m exhilarated, I’m terrified, but I think in a good way,” Johansson told Variety.
No official announcement of the production has been made.
Johansson was last seen on Broadway in a revival of Arthur Miller’s A View From the Bridge.
Cat On a Hot Tin Roof was previously revived in 2008 with an all-African American cast led by Terrence Howard and Anika Noni Rose. A 2003 revival starred Jason Patric and Ashley Judd.
