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!
