A sad statement on American culture

[cherokeeprogressive]

19. While you're busy bashing "American culture", consider how the movie was recieved in other places...

"The Avengers set opening-day records in New Zealand, Malaysia and Iceland, a single-day record in the Philippines, as well as both single- and opening-day records in Singapore and in Thailand. It also earned the second highest-grossing opening day in Australia ($6.2 million), behind Deathly Hallows – Part 2, in Mexico, in the Philippines and in Vietnam.[147][148][150][151][121] It set opening-weekend records in 12 territories, including Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Ecuador, Peru, Central America, Bolivia, Taiwan, the Philippines and Hong Kong.[149][152] It also earned the second largest five-day opening in Australia ($20.2 million).[153][149] In the UK, Ireland and Malta, it earned £2.5 million ($4.1 million) on its opening day[154] and £15.8 million ($25.7 million) during the weekend,[155] setting an opening-weekend record for a superhero film.
