Thor's box office competition - Part 2

[blinkinrogue]

bom has not updated os gross so it should be:

domestic 179.5 M
os 265.5

total: 445 M

I think it will be shown a few more weeks in Japan, as of now it's at 4M, I dont think it will have any problems reaching 8 or 9 M for 450 M ww.

[marcvader]

Wow, cool beans

[ThorThunderGod]

Yeah but Wolverine didn't have the 3d boast that Thor did, ticket price inflation also comes into account. Although Thor did pretty good domestically, overseas it where it really shined. Either way, we got ourselves a sequel and I for one am very happy.


Yeah, but Thor already out-earned Wolverine by more than $71million world-wide, and still counting. That should more than cover for whatever inflation and 3D premium boost that the former had over the latter. And the 3D difference was only significant during the early weeks that the movie was showing. It's mostly 2D now. Potter7.2 and TF3 (and GL, Panda2, Cars2) already took away those from Thor. And check out their day to day average at Box Office Mojo, Thor is still out-earning Wolverine at this late stage of its showing, if you average each showing per theater.

[Silver Surfer]

I wasn't talking WW, just domestic.

Great! Just a few more hundred thousand $ away from Iron Man's foreign b.o. gross. Come on Japan, don't fail us now!

[itchyscratch]

Green Lantern made $179,000 today and Thor still managed to make $69,000. By the end of next week Thor might be outgrossing it on a daily basis. I wonder if Thor will get an extra little boost from Captain America this weekend?

[J.Howlett]

Thor fans, rest easy, I think you're character got the best comic book feature film this summer, after witnessing Captain America....

[Gamma Burst]

I kind of expected it. Must watch Cap though.

[BigThor]

Thor fans, rest easy, I think you're character got the best comic book feature film this summer, after witnessing Captain America....

Me too, most people think XM:FC is better but I don't.

[ThorThunderGod]

Guys, don't listen to J.Howlett, I have seen him post this same message in other threads, he is just trying to start something with the Cap fans.

[ThorThunderGod]

Me too, most people think XM:FC is better but I don't.


I don't either. I think Thor is superior to X-Men First Class because the former respected the source material, unlike the latter. X-Men First Class is a good action film, IF IT'S NOT AN X-MEN FILM. They took too many liberties with it. The First Class is composed of Scott, Jean, Hank, Bobby and Warren....so, except for Hank, where are the rest of them? And Charles and Magneto were supposed to be friends for years, not in a week.

[ThorThunderGod]

All right, here is the $180M question....will Captain America unseat Thor for being the highest grossing super hero flick for the Summer of 2011? Honest opinions?

[Vartha]

Good question.lol

[marcvader]

WW is won by Thor and domestic will be neck and neck.

[ThorThunderGod]

Captain America BEAT Thor's opening day gross! Thor opened (friday) at $25,481,796, averaging $6,443 per screening. Captain America on the other hand opened at $25,750,000, averaging $6,931 per screen. Sigh. I know I won't watch Captain America this weekend, so there! Hahahaha!

[Flemm]

That's good news as far as this Thor fan is concerned. The more hype and excitement there is for Avengers the better. Worst case scenario would have been a flop for one of the solo movies at the box office. Now we know that is not going to happen.

Also, this is Captain friggin' America. To the extent that the movie is any good (which it is), it should take the domestic title.

You know, in an interview during the Captain America premier, Chris Hemsworth was interviewed and he heavily hinted that there will be a Thor vs Captain America throw down. I wouldn't like it one bit if Cap beat Thor's box office gross and humiliate him in the Avengers. Seriously, why would they even fight? Cap and Thor, look, you have to subdue the HULK, not each other. There is the Avenger with whom you should focus your hostilities with.

[Flemm]

*Ahem* INCREDIBLE HULK *Cough*Cough*

Sure, but that was years ago and won't affect the Avengers. The focus will be on Thor/Cap/IM, so a flop from either Thor or Cap would have been a major downer.

LoL, well, I don't think you have anything to worry about. Marvel is building all three of these characters into successful franchises. All of them will be showcased in Avengers, as will Hulk of course (despite the relative lack of success of that particular movie).

Cap's not gonna beat Thor's domestic gross by much, and it's not going to get anywhere near Thor's worldwide gross so who cares if it makes a few more million domestically.

I'm tired of people acting as if worldwide grosses don't matter, when they clearly do.

Half the viewers went because they wanted to see 10 seconds of Thor in the trailer :p

Not only has it passed Wolverine.......but did you also notice Thor's incredible legs - It grossed the same amount this weekend as XM-FC which came out a month after Thor! Here's the link (scroll down and you'll see they grossed the same for the weekend)! -

I am guessing If THor and Cap have a problem with one another, it will be based on who is the better leader.....


Face it Caps the leader of the Avengers, but you can't tell me for one second Thor being who he is wouldn't want to lead.....



I doubt it will be a throwdown, probably just a good argument.




Thor and Cap will be on equal ground Box office wise for domestic numbers I'd imagine.

- it's Iron Man getting too much exposure I would be worried about, we don't want Iron Man becoming the "wolverine" character of the Avengers.... Luckily the public has already had thier fill, and Joss won't be handcuffed to the idea that what this movie needs is more Iron Man...


or more Cow Bell for that matter

[04nbod]

I think there are two factors to this good run
- Good word of mouth
- Prepping for Captain America

Eh? How sure are you that Cap won't beat Thor's foreign gross? Experts were predicting that Cap will come in at number 2 this weekend, and that it will gross only somewhere within the $55-$65M range (between Xmen and Thor), they never said that Cap can actually top Thor. Word-of-Mouth is surprisingly good for Cap. Who knows how that will translate in the foreign market.

Anyway, it's still just studio estimates at this point. $100K is a small enough difference to overcome when actual numbers are released.

I look at it this way, Thor opened when classes were still going, so fewer were able to go during opening weekend. Cap is front loaded, and it will be interesting if it can sustain its momentum for long. Thor on the other hand is showing great legs. Kudos to Thor in that regard.

[rashad]

Thor is on it's discount theater run. It was always going to make an extra mil or 2 domestically.

I was just trying to jump in on your convo with Thor Thunder God.... I guess I should have quoted him...

sorry bout that Big Thor





Thor fans rejoice, anyone else think it's AWSOME Thor stands in the middle of the round table as if in deep thought... with all eyes on him....


I mean come on he is clearly gonna have a big roll in this film, and I think the sequal will be a true block buster

[Shadowlord X]

Hey folks, I just popped to CELEBRATE with fellow THOR fans his crossing the $180 MILLION mark this weekend!!!!!!

WOOHOOOO!!!!!



Let's keep our fingers crossed that CAPTAIN AMERICA: The First Avenger can equal or better that. If Cap hits blockbuster status then that's more momentum for THE AVENGERS. Then, if that is as SPECTACULAR as we hope and rips apart the box-office, it will build even more momentum for THOR 2!!!!!

MARVEL FTW!!!!!

[BigThor]

Hell yeah, I think Thor, Hulk, Iron Man, and Cap should have the largest roles in the film (being somewhat even with each other). I can't wait to see Thor's sequel, if the Avengers is as successful as we hope then Thor 2 is going to be HUGE.

yes to Thor in the avenger trailer

yes to Thors huge sequal potencial.

yes to Thor and Cap clearly ruleing the world of comic movies this year and for all practical purposes tieing.




And next summer.... honestly, I think Avengers and Batman are the clear locks

Spiderman reboot will clearly be overly scrutinized by critics and fans, so it has the most to lose

Exactly. :up:

[BigThor]

yes to Thor in the avenger trailer

He did look pretty important when he was sitting at the middle of the table, I hope he does some very important things in the film.

[itchyscratch]

With so many characters being crammed into the Avengers I'm happy for Jane not to be a part of Thor's storyline again until Thor 2. I'm more interested to see how Thor reacts to seeing Loki. He's one angry little puppy in that trailer and I can't wait to see how it plays out.

Will a part of him be pleased to see Loki alive or will Thor be a total crankynuts when he finds out his brother is alive and scheming. Curious to see if he is in any way protective of Loki and if there is the slightest bit of trust left between them.

Also wondering if Loki is going to target Thor in particular in the Avengers or if he'll be past caring about him.

Do you think Loki will be the main villian in Thor 2? Will that be overkill to have him as the main foe in all three movies? Is there a chance he won't even appear in Thor 2?

[04nbod]

I still think Jane has to be in it to bring any kind of justice to Thor's cliffhanger. If rumours are correct and they got Gwyneth back its going to feel like 'where's nat?'

I think he will be in Thor 2, pulling the strings of Enchantress and Skurge

[Flemm]

Loki will definitely be there in Thor 2. He's too important to the core family dynamic to be absent. I agree that he will likely be manipulating others from the background, at least initially.

The question of how to handle Jane Foster and Thor's return to earth in Avengers will be tricky. It's already a huge ensemble, so I don't think there's much point in giving Jane what would basically amount to a cameo. The script will have to work around it so that it can be a big part of Thor 2.

It will be interesting to see how Whedon handles this, though.

[BigThor]

I think he will be in Thor 2, pulling the strings of Enchantress and Skurge

That would be perfect :up:

Our guy still is the number #1 at the opening weekend. :D

We need one scene of her setting up/starting some equipment she and Tony have masterminded (perhaps powered by the cube). Thor comes back, they cuddle/kiss and she sends him off with Tony to fight the threat. He leaves at the end saying he has someone to catch up with and we go into Thor 2.

I've thought about this.:awesome:

As for Enchantress I would love them to expand on the Magic=Science theme and put her and Jane head to head. Show Jane using her smarts to defeat the bad guy. Enchantress can start some havok to keep the Warrior's Three and Sif occupied and Thor beats the Executioner.

I've thought about this.:awesome:

I would be ecstatic if this is what happens. I haven't wanted to hope for it too hard, because of the uncertainty about Natalie Portman being able to shoot anything. Part of me, though, is crossing my fingers that they find some way to do it, even long after the rest is filmed and they have to just get Hemsworth and Portman back for a couple of pick-up scenes to insert. That would be the best. :up:

To keep myself from being too disappointed, though, I keep imagining other ways they could work around it, while still respecting what was set up at the end of THOR.


... That said, here's what I wonder. Why DID they end THOR that way, when they knew we'd next see him in The Avengers? That is, when they wrote that ending to THOR, they had to already sort of have a plan for how to bring him back. Did they always intend to have Jane as a cameo in The Avengers, and Portman's pregnancy timing has interfered with their plans? Or have they always been planning some other solution that puts off the Thor/Jane reunion to THOR 2?

[Flemm]

Or have they always been planning some other solution that puts off the Thor/Jane reunion to THOR 2?

I actually think the above option may be what we eventually get. Not that I would be opposed to Jane appearing in Avengers, but there's going to be a lot going on in that film, including plenty of Thor stuff, with Loki and Selvig (at least). So, if it turns out to be better to leave the Jane/Thor romance follow-up for Thor 2, where it can get the attention it deserves, then I'm ok with that.

I can see Jane having some very cool stuff to do in Thor 2, with the Bifrost tech she is developing and perhaps a trip to Asgard, which would actually reverse the "fish out of water" dynamic of the first movie. And I love the idea, mentioned above, of a battle of wits between Jane and the Enchantress.

[Thor_Odinson]

I'm still hoping they will do some sort of reference to Jane in the Avengers.

[itchyscratch]

The one conversation I'm really looking forward to hearing is between Thor and Banner after Thor has fought Hulk. As someone who is supremely confident in who he is, his ability, strength, power etc, I can imagine Thor being fascinated by Banner/Hulk and the conflict between the personas. I'm not a fan of everything Joss does, but he can write those types of conversations extremely well.

[ThorThunderGod]

Our guy still is the number #1 at the opening weekend. :D

Cap did came close though. ;)


Hell YEAH!!!!:awesome:

[04nbod]

Cap is pulling ahead of Thor. Getting 2 Mill more on its first Monday than Thor did.

That said. Thor is now outgrossing X Men, Green Lantern and Kung Fu Panda on a daily basis.

[BigThor]

^^^ You can't forget that school was still in when Thor first hit theaters.

[rayc1971]

im glad to see that 180 mill domestic which means it outgrossed wolverine domestic and world wide!

[04nbod]

World wide is creeping ever closer to the lovely $450M mark. It now stands at $447,360,971 with international numbers having updated through 24/7 on BOM

[CaptainCraig]

With Monday totals THOR has leap frogged Green Lantern in the rankings. Monday totals were:
Thor - $58,223 12 weeks+ in release
GL - $51,566 6 weeks+

:woot:

[Gamma Burst]

That's impressive. Great legs for this movie!

[04nbod]

No one can blame you really. Thor is a great character but his canon is a mess. Its so convoluted. The best Thor stories (except the Simonson stuff) are able to strip all that back into the bare essentials.

Look at JMS, got rid of all the gods and introduced them one by one. Kept Sif trapped so we could go through Jane to get to her and he could reintroduce that love triangle. The only place he dropped the ball was with Blake, he got people thinking Blake and Thor were different people which is weird.

Roger Langridge's 5x Harvey Award nominated Thor: The Mighty Avenger followed the plot of the movie. He kept he heart and soul of Thor's canon intact by focusing on Thor/Jane. Gave us a truly mischievious Loki and again introduced the gods slowly.

The movie probably could have done without Sif so the Warrior's Three could have gotten more to do. (It became the Warrior's Four with her really). But it was essentially the same thing. Focus on the heart and soul of the characters, Thor's determination to please his father, his love for his brother and his love for Jane.

Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes follows the same rules. Thor's relationship with his father, his brother and Jane. The tie in comic even hinted at him being Donald Blake.

Now. If only Marvel would get the memo about keeping things simple. :p

Weekdays in May are different from weekdays in July, for one thing there were still classes back when Thor was showing. That said, I will be curious if Cap overtake Thor's domestic total during its entire run.

Anyway, Thor is closer and closer to the $450M mark.:yay:

[ThorThunderGod]

I think Thor got an extra boost this week because of the Avengers teaser trailer at the end of the Cap movie. The movie was practically on life-support a few weeks ago. NOw, it overtakes Green Lantern and X-Men First Class on a daily basis, even if it was shown months in advance. Great Thor showing, for sure, but let's give credit where it's due...Avengers trailer.

[CaptainCraig]

I wouldn't be surprised if people went back and saw it again, not new viewers but repeat just to connect the dots clearer. Between the teseract/cube itself, Yddrasil Tree of the World(I know I misspelled that something fierce), mention of Odin's throne room. And yes that Avengers tease couldn't have hurt at all.

A coworker of mine took his kids to see it at the $1.50 theater cause they hadn't seen it and he wanted to see it again.

I know the DVD is due soon but could this remain in theaters post release and keep eeking out some money. Not that another $100K or $1m mark is going to matter at this point. The sequel is on the slate and all.

You can count me in that group (20 times-but only stayed past the credits for about 5 times). Saw it again at another cheap theater last night for $3. Pretty good crowd with a good age range ~ 20 people. I can see it being showed for maybe another week-then waiting for the DVD. :csad:

His Cannon is all over the place but you have to love the run that takes place from 340 to 400 in the original late 80's books. Lots of great stuff on Earth, followed by a pretty well done increadible build up to a war of the gods with Thor throwing down against Set, Egyptian god of death

[Thor_Odinson]

And they (B&N) still have the GL stuff displayed in my area... :oldrazz:

My local B & N still has it's GL display. None of the books are moving though. The Thor one they had was replaced by Pirates 4 and now Cap.

this was the run that got me into Thor. My very first Thor comic book that I bought was #399. i was so enthralled that I had to buy many previous issues for the backstory. Over the years I have come to own almost all Thor has to offer and am only missing about a dozen early Journey into Mystery issues.

It was really nice to finally see him on the big screen...

[CaptainCraig]

Was glad to see THOR cross the $180m mark finally!! Just getting in my congrats if a bit late.

Oooops...spoke too soon. I'm afraid Thor will not reach $450M. I am almost 100% sure. It's no longer showing in Japan, and it reached only $5.7M there (Green Hornet had a higher gross with $6.8M). With Thor just grossing $30K a day in the US nowadays, it's making it's crawl to it's eventual end in about a month's time. It will probably end with $181M domestic, and it will probably end with just over $448M. Still nice. It would have been awesome to reach that nice round number 450. But some of you guys were just hoping for $350M worldwide a few months back, so I suppose if you consider that, Thor over-performed with $448M. At any rate, Thor will get a sequel, and we have Avengers to look forward to next year.

Thor movie 2010, Avengers (with Thor in it) 2011, and Thor2 for 2012. Thor in theaters 2010,2011,2012. Yay. Three years of mainstream exposure for the thundergod.

^^^ Thor is a 2011 movie by the way.

thor is already a little over 448 M, bom has not updated their OS boxoffice.

[04nbod]

Looking at BOM it went from 332 screens in Japan to 0 following the July 24th weekend. That can't be right.

Looks like THOR is going to crawl up to the $181m mark domestically now.

Do you think they are just milking it in all markets to get to a legit $450m worldwide figure?

ww gross current 448,284,730

[Gamma Burst]

Very good!

[kedrell]

It should cross $181M by Sunday. It will not be crossing $182M so $181M & change will be the final tally domestic it looks like. It's at $448,321,410 WW right now. I doubt it has enough in the tank to reach $450M. Maybe...just maybe $449M. Close enough, IMO.

[CaptainCraig]

It's only in 81 theaters. I wouldn't be shocked if it's pulled today and this is it's last hurrah but I was banking on it running through Labor Day.

Really wanted that $450m worldwide mark, you know, just because.

[Thor_Odinson]

Really wanted that $450m worldwide mark, you know, just because.

I would love to have seen that. The film has done quite well to get a sequel though.

[kedrell]

Ok, it's finally crossed 181M. And there it'll stay.

[Vartha]

WOOHOOOO!!!!
I thought for sure Japan would have seen it more than they did. HERE the only places that have it are the cheap theaters

[Gamma Burst]

The biggest super hero movie of the year by a considerable margin. I'm satisfied. ;)

[BigThor]

^^^ Same here :up:

[Weadazoid]

Thor was Awsome if Fast and FUrious hand't stolen a bit of it's first big movie of the summer Thunder it could have been a 200 million dollar Domestic run.

But standing atop Cap and GL is pretty satisfying and face it Internationally it was a tremendous success.

[Gamma Burst]

Indeed. Marvel must be very satisfied with it, specially considering it was one of their most tricky (with the blend of cosmic/mythology) properties, and yet they pulled it off pretty well.

[blinkinrogue]

thor and disney definitely should be happy especially with this:

With the underperformance of Sherlock, Alvin and the Chipmunks and TinTin, Thor is looking pretty safe for a slot in the year end top 10 domestic chart

[Vartha]

Here's hoping! :D
