"The Avengers" soared to a record-setting weekend at the box office.
Disney estimates that the Marvel superhero flick grossed more than $200 million in its debut weekend in the U.S. That's the biggest domestic opening ever, far surpassing last year's "Harry Potter" finale, which brought in close to $170 million in its first weekend in theaters.
"Think Like A Man," based on a best-selling book by Steve Harvey, came in second place with $8 million in ticket sales.
"The Hunger Games" rounded out the top three.
