Disney had projected that the movie would open at $175 million overseas, according to _Variety_. The _Avengers_ sequel will likely continue to soar this week. After premiering in about half the international marketplace this weekend—in markets like the U.K., France, Russia and Australia—the film will debut in the United States on May 1\. Analysts expect it to beat the first _Avenger_ film’s record-breaking $207.4 million U.S. debut. Popular online movie ticket vendor Fandango began selling seats to the highly-anticipated movie a full two months before its premiere date. \[[_Variety_](http://variety.com/2015/film/news/avengers-age-of-ultron-box-office-1201480134/ "undefined")\] ### See Avengers: Age Of Ultron Concept Art  Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.) Marvel  Captain America (Chris Evans) Marvel  Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) Marvel  Thor (Chris Hemsworth) Marvel  Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) Marvel  Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) Marvel  Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) Marvel  Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Vision (Paul Bettany) Marvel ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3836645/avengers-age-of-ultron-box-office-gross/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3836645/avengers-age-of-ultron-box-office-gross/"},"headline":"Avengers: Age of Ultron Was Even Bigger at the Foreign Box Office Than Disney Expected","datePublished":"2015-04-27T15:48:59.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-11T05:04:22.238Z","description":"The sequel had a massive $201.2 million debut abroad","url":"https://time.com/3836645/avengers-age-of-ultron-box-office-gross/","keywords":["movies","avengers"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt748c4e9fb4982367/6987ed0d8e06017e7b45e546/22608_320_470.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliana Dockterman","jobTitle":"Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt748c4e9fb4982367/6987ed0d8e06017e7b45e546/22608_320_470.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"22608_320_470","caption":"","creditText":"Walt Disney Studios","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3836645/avengers-age-of-ultron-box-office-gross/","name":"Avengers: Age of Ultron Was Even Bigger at the Foreign Box Office Than Disney Expected"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Understanding the Marvel Cinematic Universe","description":"How do we get from Iron Man to The Avengers?
