“Thor: Love and Thunder” topped three US box office releases and still holds the top spot, but had a steep drop.
Ticket sales for Marvel’s most recent release fell 68% from the previous week when the film came out, grossing $ 46 million from 4,375 theaters.
However, despite the decline in performance, “Thor: Love and Thunder” held the top spot at the US box office for the second consecutive week with the pants on. The fourth God of Thunder film preceded Sony’s drama “A Far Far Away”, Paramount animation “The Legendary War Dog” and Focus Features drama “Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris.”
With 10 days in theaters, “Thor: Love and Thunder” has already grossed $ 232 million at the US box office and $ 497.9 million worldwide. However, despite the high numbers, the 68% drop indicates that, with the exception of the giant Marvel fan audience, the film may not appeal to people in theaters.
Although the numbers already indicate that “Thor: Love and Thunder” will end its run in theaters with huge numbers, it’s not a good indication that a film the size of an MCU release will have such a large drop in its second week of screening. .
This is one of the biggest dips for MCU movies, close to what was seen in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” which dropped 67% in week two. “Eternals” (61%) and “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” (52%) experienced minor dips, for comparison purposes.
More from the US box office
Of the three openings of the week, “A Place Far Away From Here” had the best performance, grossing $ 17 million and debuting in third place at the US box office, something well above expectations. Considering this is an adaptation that cost Sony $ 24 million, it’s a promising start for the film to make a profit.
On the other hand, the animation “The Legendary Dog Warrior” performed less than expected, coming in sixth place at the box office in the country with only 6.25 million dollars, while the expectations were 10 million dollars. The other before “Mrs. Harris goes to Paris ”reached $ 1.9 million.
Behind “Thor: Love and Thunder” is “Minions 2: Rise of Gru”, which grossed $ 26 million in its third week. The film has already grossed $ 262 million at the US box office and grossed another $ 270 million worldwide, bringing the total to $ 532.7 million.
“Top Gun: Maverick” continues to perform well in its eighth week in theaters, ranking fourth at the US box office with $ 12 million. The film is expected to surpass “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” and “Avengers” to reach the top 10 at the US box office, and it is possible that it will surpass “Jurassic World” and “Titanic”, which occupy the seventh and ninth position in the history of the box office. of the country.
The top 5 of the week at the US box office was completed by “Elvis”, who grossed $ 7.6 million and already has a total of $ 106 million and $ 185.6 million globally.
“Thor: Love and Thunder” is still on air in Brazilian cinemas.
