Disney Studios head of distribution, Dave Hollis said it was a “spectacular result” for the movie and continued saying “having the second biggest opening weekend in history of the movie business is always going to be something you walk away overwhelmingly happy with” Marvel and Disney Studios now have bragging rights with the top three opening weekend slots of all times going to Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron and Iron Man 3.
