This news bodes well for the Thor sequel to get green lit sooner, according to many box office reports Thor reached 150 million Domestically on Thursday and passed the 400 million total gross mark on Friday. According to many estimates Thor should do about 9 Million over the weekend and close to 12 million over the 4-Day Holiday and reach around 162 Million and will probably top out at about $170M. Thor still has yet to be released in Japan but has reached about 250 Million internationally and is still doing well and by weekends end will pass 250 million. It probably doesn't have enough push to pass 300 million but will get close. Thor was already likely to get a sequel anyways based on it's opening Internationally but after Avengers Thor popularity might be even better which may get the good ahead to maybe be released the same year as Iron Man 3 in 2013.
