Box Office Beat: The Avengers

The Avengers Movie

It's going to be a great weekend to go to the movies because "The Avengers" has finally come to theaters! The highly anticipated Super Hero epic starring Robert Downy Jr. as Iron Man, Scarlett Johannson as The Black Widow, Chris Evans as Captain America, Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk, Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury is expected to take the top spot at the box office knocking off the wildly successful "The Hunger Games."

In the film, Nick Fury is a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who directs the secret agency and recruits super heros to be a part of a new team, The Avengers. He assembles the team to fight evil across the globe, which includes Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Captain America in order to stop the evil Loki.

The Avengers is in theaters now and is part of Fanlala's top 5 Summer movies to look forward to.
