Avengers' pacing to fly past $500 million globally by Sunday.
The box office news just seems to be getting better and better. As shown by this newer Deadline Hollywood story which suggests an even higher total of $585 million by Sunday.

Yesterday, was technically a normal working day in Brazil, and only a bridge between the weekend and the holiday today, but despite terrible weather in Sao Paulo, the malls and cinema ticket lines were packed. I went to check-out a high-end (price-wise) cinema I have nearby, and even that one was 95% full in their showing of Avengers.
ETA: Coming Soon has also an interesting article predicting US release, it also includes their mildly spoilery review for the movie.

I also pre ordered tickets for Thursday's midnight showing and will be seeing it multiple times this weekend!

(I don't know whether that would be a dream project for him or not, but it is probably something I would rather see. Serenity was good, but it just made me long for the TV series rather than more films.)
You guys in the US are in for treat when The Avengers arrives this week.

However, I'm thrilled that Joss might get anything he may want to make made more easily.

Of course maybe he will get sufficient moolah to fund his own "web channel" like Geekandsundry. Maybe that would be his kind of dream project. He did say something to the effect that he was terribly interested in the microstudio stuff. Imagine an all Joss, all the time channel...

This is one of those rare times where I feel guilty working at a movie theater because I don't have to pay. Must support! I'll probably pay to see it in IMAX soon.
But tomorrow night! Holy crap!

I admit, a lot of my excitement is just pure happiness that this is really happening for Joss.

You know, I was debating seeing the movie in IMAX 3D midnight Thursday, just to be in the midst of the nerdiest of the nerdy. But it turns out that the only IMAX theater in my city (San Francisco, a fairly major movie market) is committed to showing Wrath of the Titans through the first week of The Avengers release?! I'm confused, and slightly relieved -- this way, I can do midnight screening with the lower key crowd at a grand old movie palace --but the programming IMAX ppl must be kicking themselves.
Last weekend, in its fifth weekend of release, Wrath made $1.98M, adding up to a domestic gross total of $80.6M. The Avengers might make almost that much in its first day of U.S. release.

But I so want things to work out so I can see this Friday.

It's not playing on the real screens because it wasn't filmed or upscaled, and, as mentioned, Wrath claimed the screens first. Studios have to book those real IMAX screens at least a year out. I just wish we had a real IMAX less than 75 miles away. The Los Angeles area has 4! (5 is you count the Science Center).
FYI: "fake" doesn't mean they aren't IMAX. Those theaters pay for the name, sound system, etc.
ETA: I got my 3D midnight tix (group of 6). Planning to see it in IMAX 3D Friday night (at least 4 of us), 2D Saturday afternoon (with a group of about 10), and probably Sunday as well (another group of at least 4).
