MONDAY 12:15 PM, 4TH UPDATE: Here are Monday’s actuals. Disney today announced that Marvel’s The Avengers in just three days was the fastest movie to reach $200 million domestically and posted the biggest domestic opening weekend of all time. The domestic debut kicked off Friday and marks the second-highest single-day take of all time at $80.8M, followed by record-breaking days on Saturday ($69.5M) and Sunday ($57M). That put the Disney film’s 3-day record-breaking opening weekend’s domestic cume at $207.4M and its foreign total at $447.4M for a global $654.8M in 12 days.

“Marvel’s The Avengers is something we’ve been carefully building toward since we began production on the first Iron Man film, and it is quite rewarding for all of us that The Avengers is appealing around the globe to both passionate fans and general audiences alike. It is a testament to all involved with this film that audiences across the board are embracing the film in this record-setting way,” Avengers producer Kevin Feige said in a statement today.

Avengers is the first Marvel Studios film to be marketed and distributed by The Walt Disney Studios. “Joss Whedon, Kevin Feige and the whole Marvel team have done something really incredible with The Avengers,” said Dave Hollis, EVP, Theatrical Exhibition Sales and Distribution, The Walt Disney Studios. “From the super-talented cast to the spectacular visual effects, it’s a grand slam, and we’re proud to be a part of this history-making film.”

Marvel’s The Avengers began opening internationally April 25 and has set records as the biggest opening weekend of all time in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Ecuador, Central America, Peru, Bolivia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, and United Arab Emirates. It opened in Russia May 3 with $17.9 million to make it the biggest Marvel opening weekend ever. It debuted in China on May 5 with $18 million over two days. Avengers has now opened in all major markets except Israel (May 10), Poland (May 11), and Japan (August 17).

The film’s successful debut comes a month after Marvel and Disney announced that a sequel to 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger will be released April 4, 2014. A sequel to last summer’s Thor is scheduled for release November 15, 2013, and the third installment of the Iron Man series, which has earned over $1.2 billion worldwide, will arrive in theaters May 3, 2013.
