Box Office Top 20: 'Avengers' sequel soars to $191.3 million, 2nd biggest opening of all time

LOS ANGELES — A jam-packed sports weekend didn't stop moviegoers from trekking to theaters in droves to see the Avengers sequel, which posted a massive $191.3 million North American opening, Disney said Monday.

While "Avengers: Age of Ultron" may have solidified its spot as the second biggest opening of all time, it also failed to live up to the record-setting $207.4 million debut of the first "Avengers" film in 2012. Notably, Marvel and Disney have the industry's third biggest opening too: "Iron Man 3."

"Ultron," which cost a reported $250 million to produce, has grossed $631.1 million worldwide to date.

The super sequel should also have at least another week to reign before "Pitch Perfect 2" and "Mad Max: Fury Road" open May 15.
