So on Saturday I went to watch the long anticipated movie "Avengers" and man was that theater packed with a line that wrapped around the theater. From my observation alone I could tell that if the demand to view this movie was this impactful I could only imagine how it was every where else. I was reading entertainment new today on OMG.com...My hunch was correct. Avengers smashed the box office raking in a whopping $200.3 million dollars during its debut. This has set the record surpassing the last Harry Potter film last year when it only made $169.2 Million dollars in its debut. I ask myself what is it about the anticipation of this movie that allowed for such a fenominal turnout. With the country stilling trying to climb out of its recession it is surprising to see that the every day American can still spare a $10 dollar bill to at least purchase a movie ticket to enjoy a small get away from a srtessful day, family time. It is true, the entertainment industry does suffer to much as a resultof thr recession for thre simple reason that even though the country is in a recession state one can rest assure that although you may not have a lot of leisure money to spend around you can afford to get away from life issues and purchase tickets to knowning that you're going to relax and enjoy something that doesnt remind you of what's next on your to list.
