Thanks to Reuters Canada, we now have more information on how financially successful the God of Thunder was at the box office this weekend:
Apparently, "Thor" gained about $66 million in tickets during its first three days in both the United States and Canada, according to studio estimates that were issued today.
The projected income for the movie during its opening weekend in the U.S. and Canada was anywhere in the range of $60 million to $70 million.
Despite its success, "Thor" was not able to top other popular movies like 2002's "Spider-Man" ($115 million) and 2008's "Iron Man" ($99 million), both of which were also the first movies of emerging franchises. However, it was able to overcome the 2003 "Hulk", which gained $62 million on it's opening weekend.
Last weekend, "Thor" gained $93 million overseas and grabbed the number 1 spot.
Also, thanks to TheIntruder and The Hollywood Reporter, we now know that "Thor" has a worldwide total of $242 million.
