'Battleship' Can't Sink 'Avengers' From Top Spot This Weekend

May 18th, 2012 12:37pm EDT

Don't expect Battleship to knock The Avengers off the top spot this weekend. While the game based on the board game ought to rake in over $30 million the next three days, it might have to double that amount to top Marvel's greatest heroes.
Going by the rule that weekend grosses lessen by 50% every week, The Avengers is set to make another $50 million-plus. That would put the film at $450 million domestic. The superhero film has already broken into the top ten list for worldwide grosses, beating Star Wars: The Phantom Menace and The Dark Knight.
Even if numbers slack for The Avengers, it may very well hold onto the top spot for a few more weeks, until it holds stiffer competition in late June and early July.
