BOX OFFICE: THOR: RAGNAROK Expected To Cross $400 Million Worldwide As Soon As Sunday
Thor: Ragnarok is the best reviewed Marvel Studios movie of all-time so it probably won't surprise you to learn that box office projections now point to it being a mega hit when it finally hits the US.
Thor: Ragnarok launched to $109 million in 36 markets last weekend and the threequel now looks set to add the likes of the US, Canada, China, Japan, and Mexico to that list this coming weekend. As a result, box office analysts currently believe that the movie will have passed the $400 million mark by Sunday. That's incredible, especially as the first instalment only made a total of $449 million!
According to Deadline, the Taika Waititi helmed release will have passed $150 million overseas by today and China alone is expected to add $50 million to that. Throw in the estimated opening weekend domestically of $100 million - $120 million and things are clearly looking good for the movie.
Thor: Ragnarok is currently playing strongly to all demos and the threequel appears to be exceeding previous instalments of the franchise in every way. Of course, it doesn't have long until Justice League is released on November 17th so Marvel has to be hoping that people flock to see it during the first couple of weekends. Will you be checking out Thor: Ragnarok when it's released later this week?
