“Thor: Love and Thunder,” the next chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Chris Hemsworth’s fourth solo outing as the God of Thunder,” has opened to a huge $29 million…
in its opening weekend. Some estimates even go as high as $170 million.
The Thursday opening is the fifth highest for an MCU movie and the 13th highest ever, tied with “Rogue One.” It’s also the second biggest Thursday launch of 2022, behind only “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” which had $36 million. An opening in that Asgardian ballpark would give “Thor: Love and Thunder” one of the highest debuts of the year, landing somewhere among The Batman” , “Jurassic World: Dominion” and “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” . “Love and Thunder” is also on track to rain down more ticket sales than its predecessor, 2017’s “Thor: Ragnarok,” also directed by. That movie opened to $123 million in the U.S. and went on to gross $315 million domestically and $853 million worldwide.
Also on Thursday, “Thor: Love and Thunder” grew to $48.6 million at the international box office, where it’s now playing in 42 markets. Overseas, the movie is projected to make $140 million to $150 million from international markets, but it’s not playing in China, Russia or France. Hemsworth and Portman reunite in the fourth “Thor” film, after they last shared the screen in “Thor: The Dark World.” Portman sat out of “Ragnarok,” but this time she becomes equally powerful and calls herself the Mighty Thor. The two exes must join forces to face off against the ominously named villain Gorr the God Butcher, played by Christian Bale.
