THOR: RAGNAROK Exceeds Expectations With A Thunderous $121 Million Domestic Debut, $427 Million Worldwide
Winner winner, chicken dinner. Thor: Ragnarok has launched even better than initial projections with a thunderous $121 million domestic debut and has already skyrocketed past $427 million worldwide.
Cue the music.
Thor: Ragnarok has shattered yesterday's conservative projection and has officially launched with a mighty $121 million domestic, making it the biggest opening weekend for a Thor movie ever, the ninth-biggest opening weekend for a Marvel Studios film, and the fourth-highest domestic opening weekend of the year. Its #1 opening also makes it the 17th straight top debut for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Following its $46.82 million Friday, Ragnarok pulled in a strong $44.36 million on Saturday and is projected to take in an estimated $29.83 million on Sunday - a figure that could actually go up before all is said and done.
Internationally, the Chris Hemsworth-starrer continued to dominate with a thunderous $151.4 million, including a phenomenal $55.6 million from China and a stellar $25.4 million from IMAX theaters. Its overseas total currently stands at just around $306 million, which brings its worldwide cume to a massive $427 million.
On its current track, the Taika Waititi-helmed blockbuster should surpass the lifetime collection of the original Thor ($449.3M) in the next day or so and has a strong shot at overtaking Thor: The Dark World ($644.5M) by the end of its second weekend.
So, what do you guys think? How many times have you experienced Ragnarok? Sound off with your thoughts below!
In Marvel Studios' "Thor: Ragnarok," Thor is imprisoned on the other side of the universe without his mighty hammer and finds himself in a race against time to get back to Asgard to stop Ragnarok - the destruction of his homeworld and the end of Asgardian civilization - at the hands of an all-powerful new threat, the ruthless Hela. But first he must survive a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against his former ally and fellow Avenger - the Incredible Hulk!
