Thor: Ragnarok Repeats at the Top of the Box Office

Posted on by

It’s not surprising, but Thor: Ragnarok repeated at the top of the box office with an estimated $56.6 million over the weekend. The film also added $76 million to its international total as well.

The film has earned $211.6 million domestically, $438.5 million internationally, and $650.1 million worldwide. That domestic total in ten days is more than the first two films’ entire domestic run. It will easily pass Doctor Strange‘s $232 million which opened the same weekend last year. It has also passed the worldwide totals of the first two films.

In second place was Daddy’s Home 2 which earned $30 million off of a $69 million budget. That’s $8.7 million less than the original film when it debuted.

In third place was another new film, Murder on the Orient Express which brought in an estimated $28.2 million. That film has a $55 million budget. At the foreign box office the film has earned $57.2 million.

In fourth place was A Bad Moms Christmas which dropped from last weekend’s second place. It added an estimated $11.5 million to its domestic total to bring it to $39.9 million.

In fifth place was Jigsaw which dropped from third. It added $3.4 million to its total to bring it to $79.1 million worldwide on a $10 million budget.

In other comic movie numbers…

Kingsman: The Golden Circle earned $420,000 after 8 weeks to bring its worldwide total to $393.1 million.

My Friend Dahmer expanded its theater count and brought in $190,000 from 45 theaters. It has now brought in $243,207.

Blade of the Immortal decreased its theater count to bring in $18,000 to up its domestic total to $98,581.

Thor: Ragnarok Smashes with $121 Domestic Opening & Record Debut in China

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.

Rounding out the top five was Geostorm which earned $3 million to bring its domestic total to $28.8 million.
