BOX OFFICE: THOR: RAGNAROK Passes $800 Million, As Walt Disney Studios Hits $5B Globally

In the shadow of the record-breaking Avengers: Infinity War teaser trailer, Taika Waititi's Thor: Ragnarok makes huge steps forward, as The Mouse House confirms its box office champion status...

Despite strong competition, Thor: Ragnarok has managed to pass another milestone. After today, Taika Waititi-helmed movie will be the third Marvel Studios production to pass $800 million mark in 2017, joining Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 ($863M) and Spider-Man: Homecoming ($880M). As for now, Thor: Ragnarok is the seventh highest grossing MCU movie, which is even more surprising considering the absence of Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark and a rather poor reception of The Dark World.

This could be enough for any other studio, but Walt Disney is a different beast, passing $5 billion mark worldwide in 2017. And technically Spider-Man: Homecoming is a Sony movie! Beauty and the Beast ($1.263B), Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales ($795m) and the Marvel movies (GOTG V.2, Ragnarok) definitely helped in this achievement. Plus, Star Wars: The Last Jedi hasn't opened yet!

Disney should easily repeat this trick next year with the help of Avengers: Infinity War, Black Panther, Ant-Man & The Wasp, Solo: A Star Wars Story, The Incredibles 2, Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2, Mary Poppins Returns and other "smaller" productions. Upcoming years definitely won't be boring for Disney fans.

Isn’t Coco underperfoming? I know it had a massive budget of almost $200 million, but I don’t think it’s even made that yet and with Star Wars coming I don’t think it will. Shame, it’s an amazing movie.
Disney is just dominating, especially when you consider MOST of what they put out is actually quality work

@Armageddon26 - I’ve not heard anyone suggest that Coco is underperforming... it’s doing a bit behind Moana, but that’s to be expected with that one being a Princess movie with the Rock and music by Lin Manuel Miranda.

Remember when Disney bought Marvel and Star Wars and people were complaining that they were going to ruin the franchises?

Good times.

@BringFFtoMCU - Those were some of my happiest memories, no matter how well Disney does they still have so many doubters

They really turned things around for the character after how Thor 2 was received.

Did the IW trailer break some kind of record?
