“Thor: Love and Thunder” is not expected to catch up with its predecessor, “Thor: Ragnarok”, but the Marvel movie has hit a major box office milestone.
While not one of the most acclaimed titles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, “Thor: Love and Thunder” has passed the $ 700 million mark at the global box office. The hero’s fourth solo film is unlikely to be able to exceed $ 854 million in “Thor: Ragnarok”, but it is worth noting that “Love and Thunder” did not premiere in China and Russia, which it is estimated to reduce the total by approximately US $ 150 million.
While it hasn’t threatened “Ragnarok” at the worldwide box office, “Thor: Love and Thunder” has already reached $ 386.5 million at the US box office alone, more than its predecessor’s $ 315 million. If released in Russia and China, it is estimated that “Love and Thunder” would be close to $ 869 million for “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” and $ 881 million “Spider-Man: Homecoming”.
On the other hand, the box office success of “Thor: Love and Thunder” is not even comparable to other recent Marvel hits such as “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”, which surpassed the $ 950 million grossed worldwide. and did not exceed $ 950. million dollars the $ 1 billion mark for not being released even in China and Russia, or “Spider-Man: No Return Home,” which totaled a staggering $ 1.9 billion.
The current box office gross of “Thor: Love and Thunder” places the film in sixth place among films released in 2022, behind “Minions 2: Rise of Gru”, which already amasses $ 765 million, “Batman” with $ 770 million, “Doctor Strange 2” with $ 954 million, “Jurassic World: Dominion” with $ 965 million and “Top Gun: Maverick” the number 1 of the year with $ 1.3 billion.
As for the total relative to other MCU films, “Thor: Love and Thunder” is now in 17th place on the list with its 705.7 million dollars, behind “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” (714 million of dollars) and in front of the first “Doctor Strange” (676 million US dollars).
“Thor: Love and Thunder” had a historic opening weekend, the best of the franchise with $ 144 million grossed, but fell sharply to the 68% range in the second weekend.
The film is directed by Taika Waititi and stars Chris Hemsworth, alongside Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster, who this time becomes the Mighty Thor. In addition to the duo, the cast has a villain played by Christian Bale and names such as Tessa Thompson, Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, Pom Klementieff, Karen Gillan, Russell Crowe and the voices of Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper.
