“Think Like a Man” grossed an impressive $18 million in its second weekend to stay at No. 1, while Jason Segel-Emily Blunt comedy “The Five-Year Engagement” came in No. 5 with a disappointing $11.2 million debut. Both films are expected to drop next week as the summer blockbuster season roars in with the U.S. debut of “Avengers.”
The Avengers is doing superhero-like business overseas, debuting to a massive $178.4 million as it rolled out in 39 markets across the globe. Directed by Joss Whedon, the tentpole opened No. 1 in 39 territories, and posted the biggest opening weekend ever in key Latin American markets including Mexico ($15.9 million) and Brazil ($11.3 million). It is expected to trouce the competition when it opens in the United States.
