Maybe it's because it was a little unkown when the film came out, who knows but the film beat Skyfall which is second and Prometeus which is thurd.
The full list 10 ten most searched films on google is - 1. The Hunger Games - 2. Skyfall - 3. Prometheus - 4. The Avengers - 5. Magic Mike - 6. John Carter - 7. Ek Tha Tiger - 8. Paranormal Activity 4 - 9. Taken 2 - 10. Dark Shadows
