The people have spoken, and it seems like 8 is the magic number for Odinson. Not only is his realm hopping sequel a virtual lock for the 8th spot on the list of the highest grossing films of 2013, he has also placed number 8 on IMDB's highest user rated films of 2013 based on user ratings
Per IMDB:
"The top 10 highest-rated movies of 2013. These rankings are based on IMDb user ratings for films released in 2013 with at least 25,000 votes"
Gravity 8.4/10
Rush 8.3/10
Hunger Games Catching Fire 8.1/10
Before Midnight 8.1/10
Prisoners 8.1/10
Captain Phillips 8.1/10
Star Trek Into Darkness 7.9/10
Thor The Dark World 7.6/10
The Conjuring 7.5/10
Despicable Me 7.5/10
While it's critic scores were nothing to write home about, Thor: The Dark World does have the highest user ratings of any of this year's CBMs on the 3 major movie sites (Rotten Tomatoes, IMDB and Metacritic). Also, this list is not to be confused with a list posted a few days ago which featured IMDB's list of the most popular movie pages based on page visits.
With news earlier today that the film has crossed $620M worldwide, Marvel must be more than pleased with the reception to the second solo film featuring the god of thunder
Special shout out to CBM user
