    And the 3D film which unites many of Marvel‘s marquee superheroes has also reportedly done good business on Tuesday as a May Day holiday was observed in many foreign markets.
    At this pace, Avengers‘ foreign gross likely will grow to $350 million-$400 million by Sunday, boosted by its debut in Russia and China this weekend.
    Avengers will open on Thursday in North America, where it‘s widely expected to debut north of $150.
    Bullish box office observers believe Avengers could finish the weekend with a global gross well north of $500 million if not closer to $600 million.
    Last summer, Marvel‘s Thor grossed $449.3 million worldwide, while Captain America: The First Avenger earned $368.6 million.
