THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER Disney+ Premiere Date Revealed As Movie Passes $400M Internationally

Thor: Love and Thunder was not expected to bust many blocks at the box office, but the divisive movie has proven to have surprisingly strong legs. We also have an official Disney+ premiere date...

Thor: Love and Thunder star Chris Hemsworth has taken to Twitter to announce that Taika Waititi's Ragnarok follow-up will be available to stream on Disney+ Day, September 8.

Love and Thunder proved to be divisive among fans and critics alike (it's actually the lowest-rated Thor movie on Rotten Tomatoes at 65%), but that hasn't prevented the movie from finding at least a modicum of success at the box office.

While it's still a long way from joining the illustrious "billion dollar club," the MCU adventure has now passed $400 million internationally and is closing in on $800 million worldwide. Again, hardly top-tier Marvel Studios, but still better than many analysts predicted.

Do you plan on giving Thor: Love and Thunder another watch when it hits streaming?

Thor: Love and Thunder finds Thor (Chris Hemsworth) on a journey unlike anything he’s ever faced – a quest for inner peace. But his retirement is interrupted by a galactic killer known as Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale), who seeks the extinction of the gods. To combat the threat, Thor enlists the help of King Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), Korg (Taika Waititi) and ex-girlfriend Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), who – to Thor’s surprise – inexplicably wields his magical hammer, Mjolnir, as the Mighty Thor.

Together, they embark upon a harrowing cosmic adventure to uncover the mystery of the God Butcher’s vengeance and stop him before it’s too late.

Directed by Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok, Jojo Rabbit) and produced by Kevin Feige and Brad Winderbaum, Thor: Love and Thunder  is now playing in theaters.

So happy for this movie's success. Good movie. Under regular conditions Thor would have joined the billion dollar club. Well deserved.

@DCasAhobby - conditions were fine, it got bad word of mouth. I watched it, it's OK, but took too many liberties imo. It's the 4th best Thor film, ragnarok is still best.

@Gizmoduck - 4th best? That’s pretty awful.

Regardless of what we might speculate Disney and Marvel wanted out of the film, in the markets in which all four films released, it did sell the most tickets for a Thor film. Its final gross should be around The Batman's. Sure, it's not a significant audience growth since Ragnarok, but that may have more to do with the character's popularity hitting its ceiling. For a character that had a bumpy ride in his first four years in the MCU and struggled to catch up to Tony and Steve, that's mighty good.

And I say that as someone who didn't adore the film.

Thor: Love and Thunder hate it or love it still profitable and another WIN for Marvel Studios.

@DoubleD - barely profitable and nowhere near the profit margins that The MCU head honchos were banking on.

And you know.....the worst rated MCU movie of all time lol

@Toblakai - This movie is my least favorite Marvel property ever. Agree with all of that...AND STILL...it makes over 700 million! Even their "flops" make big bucks.

@IAmIronGland - it needed to make $700 million to break even lol. Is this "big bucks"?

@DoubleD - If that’s a winning movie, the bar has been set extremely low.

@Toblakai - Sure it is. The audience did their part. We, the audience, have no control over how much a studio is going to spend. But if you make over 400 million dollars just domestically and coming up on 800 million worldwide, then you have sold a huge amount of tickets. Meaning LOTS of people went to a theater to see your film, some of them went more than once when numbers get that high. People have stopped comprehending how many tickets have to be sold to do this. If the profit is less due to big budgets then that is on them.

@IAmIronGland - less than $100 million in profit isn't "big bucks" for the MCU.

Probably good enough numbers to support a final movie and to close off a Waititi trilogy. For comparison sake, if the movie opened in China, Russia et al and had similar performance as the rest of the world, it would have hit $900M. So good enough performance for a $250M budget movie.

Got more chance of me watching Ms.Marvel than watching this for a second time.
