Marvel Studios' Thor: The Dark World surpassed yesterday's expectations of an $82 million opening with an estimated $86.11M three-day domestic haul. This is $20 million/31 percent higher than the first film's opening back in May 2011, being about the same jump Iron Man 2 made from it's first film. The sequel also scored another $94M overseas, bringing it's Int.'l total to $240.9M and total worldwide cume to an impressive $327M. The Dark World is sure to be number one in America next weekend, with no competition heading it's way until the November 22nd release of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. It seems guaranteed that the sequel will pass $200M domestic and at least $550M worldwide; but when it's all said and done, how much do you think Thor 2 will make worldwide by the end of it's theatrical run? Sound off in the comments below!
Marvel’s “Thor: The Dark World” continues the big-screen adventures of Thor, the Mighty Avenger, as he battles to save Earth and all the Nine Realms from a shadowy enemy that predates the universe itself. In the aftermath of Marvel’s “Thor” and “Marvel’s The Avengers,” Thor fights to restore order across the cosmos…but an ancient race led by the vengeful Malekith returns to plunge the universe back into darkness. Faced with an enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand, Thor must embark on his most perilous and personal journey yet, one that will reunite him with Jane Foster and force him to sacrifice everything to save us all. Starring Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Christopher Eccleston, Anthony Hopkins as Odin and many more, the film is in theaters NOW!
