Who's surprised? Anyone? Bueller? Box office expectations couldn't be much higher for "Avengers: Age of Ultron," which opens in the U.S. on May 1, but has already made big money in international markets. According to Variety, the superhero sequel made $44.8 million in 26 territories in its first two days, with first-place finishes in all of them. Here are a few of the breakdowns they shared:

o. U.K.: $5.4 million -- 54 percent more than for "Iron Man 3" and 40 percent more than "Avengers."
o. South Korea: $4.9 million, with a 96% share and 173% above "Avengers."

That's just a small sample and it's just from the first two days. Meanwhile, keep an eye on the U.S. opening weekend numbers next week, because the bar is pretty high -- "Age of Ultron" is expected to earn more than $200 million. FYI, if you head to Box Office Mojo, the movie with the current No. 1 ranking for highest opening weekend ever is the first "Avengers" with a little over $207M. Second place is "Iron Man 3." So, yeah, expectations are high.
