The summer movie season is officially underway.

The first major blockbuster, Avengers: Age of Ultron, starring Robert Downey, Jr., Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johansson and Samuel L. Jackson, soared to #1 at the box office with a mind-blowing $188 million this past weekend.

Factor in the international ticket sales, and it has already surpassed $625 million!
