Thor: Ragnarok is the beginning of the holiday movie season and it started out strong with a little over $121 million opening in North America. That’s the seventh largest opening for a Marvel Cinematic film and beat this year’s Spider-Man: Homecoming which opened with $117 million. Thor opened with $65.7 million to go on and gross $181 million (not adjusted) domestically and $449.3 million worldwide in 2011 while Thor: The Dark World opened with $85.7 million and went on to gross $206.3 million (not adjusted) domestically and $644.6 million worldwide in 2013.

The film received an “A” Cinemascore with an audience that was 56% male and 44% female, and 63% over the age of 25.

Overseas, the film opened with an estimated $55.6 million in China, the largest ever for a November release. It also debuted with $5.2 million in India, $10.8 million in Mexico, $8.9 million in Germany, $3.5 million in Japan, and $3.7 million in Russia.

The film’s debut has pushed Marvel over $13 billion globally and $5 billion domestically.

It was a given this film would debut in first place and A Bad Moms Christmas took second with a $21.5 million five day domestic gross, it opened on Wednesday, and $17 million weekend. Internationally, the film brought in $6.67 million. Last year, the original film opened with $23.8 million and the sequel has an $8 million higher budget and debuted in more theaters, so it’s a slightly worse debut. That’s domestically, internationally, the film is ahead of the original.

Jigsaw came in third dropping from last week’s third. The film earned $6.7 million to bring its domestic total to $28.8 million.

In fourth place was Tyler Perry’s Boo 2! A Madea Halloween with $4.7 million and $43 million domestically so far.
