New Film Battles "The Avengers"

Is this the weekend Marvel's "The Avengers" gets bumped by a bump?

A new release this week is “What to Expected When You’re Expecting,” based on the New York Times bestseller of the same name, is facing Marvel’s “The Avengers” at theaters this weekend.

"The Avengers" has made a gazillion, upwards of $650 million nationally and worldwide, since its release May 3. Whether it will continue its reign at the box office remains to be seen.

“What to Expect When You’re Expecting” is a comedy about five couples whose intertwined lives are turned upside down by the challenges of impending parenthood, according to Moviefone.com.

Over the moon about starting a family, TV fitness guru Jules and dance show star Evan find that their high-octane celebrity lives don't stand a chance against the surprise demands of pregnancy. Baby-crazy author and advocate Wendy gets a taste of her own militant mommy advice when pregnancy hormones ravage her body; while Wendy's husband, Gary, struggles not to be outdone by his competitive alpha-Dad, who's expecting twins with his much younger trophy wife, Skyler. Photographer Holly is prepared to travel the globe to adopt a child, but her husband Alex isn't so sure, and tries to quiet his panic by attending a "dudes" support group, where new fathers get to tell it like it really is. And rival food truck chefs Rosie and Marco's surprise hook-up results in an unexpected quandary: what to do when your first child comes before your first date?
