“Thor: Love and Thunder” held first place at the box office for the second weekend, earning $ 46 million in ticket sales in the US and Canada, well ahead of second place.
The figure represents a 68% drop from the premiere, replicating what happened with Marvel’s previous release, “Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness,” which dropped 67% in its second weekend at the national box office.
With that, the fourth “Thor” reached a total of $ 233 million in North America and reached nearly $ 500 million worldwide – it is with $ 497.8 million, according to Box Office Mojo, who came to report $ 720 million on Sunday (7/17), a huge discrepancy in values.
“Minions 2: Rise of Gru” took second place in North America with $ 26 million. A huge success, animation already has $ 262.5 million in the domestic market and $ 532.7 million worldwide, skyrocketing as the highest-grossing children’s film since the advent of Covid-19.
The premiere of “A Place Far Away From Here” came in 3rd place with $ 17 million, below the expectations of the market and the Sony studio itself. One of the biggest problems for the $ 24 million romantic drama based on a Delia Owens bestseller was the negative reviews. The production only had 37% approval on Rotten Tomatoes, which aggregates the top reviews posted in English.
The film, which includes an unreleased song by Taylor Swift, will only premiere on September 1 in Brazil.
The weekend also marked a second big release, Paramount’s children’s animation “The Legendary War Dog,” which didn’t pique public interest, opening at number 6 for just $ 6.25 million. Considered mediocre by critics, it had a 54% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and premiered in Brazil on August 25, voiced by Paulo Vieira.
Meanwhile, “Top Gun: Maverick” continues to perform impressively at number 4, grossing $ 12 million in the US, where it has already crossed the $ 600 million mark. The drop over the weekend was only 23%.
The Top 5 is completed with “Elvis”, which grossed $ 7.6 million between Friday and Sunday (7/17), bringing the national box office to $ 106 million and the global one to $ 185.6 million.
