Once agian Avengers is looking to make over a Billion $$$

"Avengers: Age of Ultron" International Box Office Set to Pass $900M - Comic Book Resources

Quote:
"Avengers: Age of Ultron" is on the verge of passing a $900 million gross at the international box office, making it the fifth movie to have done so in cinematic history.

Deadline reports that the film has already reached $895 million as of this past weekend, which puts it on par with its predecessor, "The Avengers." The film, which is currently still showing in 91 countries and is yet to open in Japan, will join the ranks of films like "Furious 7," "Titanic," "Avatar" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2" as one of the highest grossing films ever at the international box office once it passes the $900 million benchmark.

The film has pulled in the largest profit from China with $229.1 million, followed by Korea with $82.1 million, the UK ($71.9 million), Mexico ($49.9 million) and Brazil ($46.6 million). It will open in Japan on July 4.

Not surprising that the 2 Avengers movies combined have made 3 billion alone Box office .
Not even adding up DVD / merchandise other cable rights . This is Marvels most successful franchise . Age of Ultron is #5 all time Box office . Fast furious 7 is #4 Avengers is #3 !
Think about it that only 21 movies over the past 30 yrs have made over 1 billion. 5 of them are Superhero movies

Anyone ever watch Castle in the Sky?

Quote:
See The Studio Ghibli Character Who Snuck Into Avengers: Age Of Ultron

When Tony Stark tried to create Ultron in the second Avengers movie, his plan was to create a a series of robots that could police the entire world. But apparently he also had a secret agenda — to pay homage to a classic Studio Ghibli anime film directed by Hayao Miyazaki.



Yes, the iconic robot from Laputa: Castle in the Sky somehow managed to make its way into Tony Stark’s apartment, as you can see by the above screenshot. Here it is in video form (it appears at 0:57):



And here’s the original anime for comparison.



If you think it’s a bit of a stretch, Anime News Network reports the following:

Quote:
Whedon is a big fan of Studio Ghibli and the films of Hayao Miyazaki, and wished to incorporate an homage to the studio in this film. Permission to use the robot was secured after Whedon used John Lasseter, the chief creative officer of Walt Disney Animation Studios and a friend of Miyazaki, as a go-between.
While the Castle in the Sky robots aren’t as universally beloved as Totoro, they’re actually almost as iconic in Japan, as well to artists all over the world. And one genius billionaire playboy philanthropist, apparently.

Don't worry, I make mistakes like that all the time and then realize it a day or two later.
