Domestically and overseas it has been a hard fought battle . Thor and Captain America have been neck and neck, day after day. Taking in Thors totals at the same time, Thor lead every weekend and then Captain America plods along with higher totals through the weekdays to pass the thunder god. As of this Sunday with 17 days under their belts both movies stood at:
Thor- $145,361,459 Captain America- $143,203,967
It is almost as if Cap and Thor have the exact same audience and it will come down to which viewers went back the most times for extra viewings as to who will win.
So it falls to the foreign markets that opening weekend totals for both films are available for to decide the winner.

Keep in mind Captain America COULD come back to win out. It is very close and is fun to check out who is leading but
******SPOILER ALERT****************
DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN CAPTAIN AMERICA T F A
In the end all indications are Thor will be just above Cap in totals.
Hope you have enjoyed the breakdown even if you disagree who comes out on top.
Oh, I have a quick question. At the end of Captain America the Cosmic Cube falls away and the Red Skull is dispatched and Cap is alone in the plane and ditches it in the ice. Why?
In the comics it is a missle and will explode and destroy a city etc etc... But a plane? Why not parachute out or use one of the left over missle/planes once it is in a dive. It is as if he has to crash just to be frozen. And when it crashes it does not explode. So why not find a parachute? I noticed this the second time I watched it and it just kinda bugs me. Still love the movie just thought with the comic knowledge available on here you guys might have caught something I missed.
