‘The Avengers’ keeps making box-office history.The Marvel team-up movie will gross $103.2 million from Friday to Sunday, its studio estimated, becoming the first film to reach nine digits in its second weekend in the USA and pushing it past the $1 billion mark worldwide.Johnny Depp’s ‘Dark Shadows’, meanwhile, could’ve used the help of a superhero—or three.The gothic vampire tale, made for a reputed $150 million, was toothless in its debut, managing only about $29 million, per BoxOffice.com.If the estimate holds, the gross will mark a come-down not just from Depp’s last collaboration with Tim Burton, the blockbuster ‘Alice in Wonderland’, but from the actor and director’s last live-action horror tribute, ‘Sleepy Hollow’, which bowed with a far stronger $30 million more than a decade ago.The horror-comedy, which finds Johnny Depp playing a vampire let loose on 1972 America pulled in roughly one-third of what ‘The Avengers’ earned. Burton’s ‘Dark Shadows’ is based on a cult soap opera.
