I'm not sure if this signals a change in the public zeitgeist on blockbusters, but this... this is a very good day for good movies.
Thank you. THANK YOU ALL!!!
Now, on with the celebration!

And there's all the international grossings that it makes but America seem to forget about :P. The Avengers was in the top 50 highest grossing films of all time before it hit American you know lol.
I know about Battleship's international gross. I beg you to not ruin this moment for me!

That's assuming you don't adjust for inflation.

The Dictator will still make money because it had a low budget and even thought I am not a Sacha Baron Cohen fan, more power to him for making successful films. Battleship will be seen as a flop though with the 200 million budget that will barely be cleared.

Hi Jordan The Childish. YEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!! 
Actually, this was predictable with the fanbase of The Avengers and the amazing build up it had....Battleship....um....well it has the name of a board game most people have played.....but that's about it. I think people are finally registering in their brains that Transformers ROTF and DSOTM weren't that good at all and they'd been bamboozled by the eye-candy special effects.....and they're realizing they actually want good stories and good acting, to go with the eye-candy special effects....The Avengers gave all three, my friend. Peace.

Today was a good day. I hope that battleship sinks. Sure it passed its budget by 40 mil. But that's nothing. Absolutely nothing. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Battleship was obviously shit but what's so bad about The Dictator? I haven't seen it but it looked funny and I don't think would put it in the same category of bad movies such as Battleship.
Oh,yeah. Wasn't paying attention since I was so glad Battleship did so abysmally this weekend.
Anyway, I'm sure The Dictator, even if it doesn't make money hand over fist, will still be seen as funny and do well on home video.
