BOX OFFICE: THOR: THE DARK WORLD Set For An Impressive $75 Million Opening
The God of Thunder owes a lot to The Avengers, as the success of that superhero ensemble has led to a huge amount of interest in the sequel, meaning Thor: The Dark World now looks set for one of the biggest November openings of all-time in North America. Read on for details!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, tracking for Thor: The Dark World indicates that the superhero sequel will open with upwards of $75 million when it's released in North America on November 8th. That would easily exceed the $65.7 million earned by Thor in 2011, but will it come close to the worldwide total of £1.2 billion made by Iron Man 3 earlier this year? That's extremely unlikely according to analysts, but none of them ever imagined that Robert Downey Jr.'s third solo outing would ever come close to the figure mentioned above! Regardless, Thor: The Dark World is sparking interesting among all moviegoers, so there's no doubt that this will be yet another hit for Marvel Studios. How much do you guys think it will end up making?
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.
