After watching the trailer
Domestic - I think this might perform like Oz, so $180 million to $240 million.
Worldwide - $500 million to $700 million
Never understood that. MoS to me was always the clear one with hurdles to overcome. Well, that and Wolverine.
MoS lol. Superman hasn't been in $2 Billion worth of blockbusters in the last two summers. Superman has absolutely no momentum going into this film, and has to rely purely on the merits of it's trailer, it's character's past glory, and the reviews for the movie.
Thor has one of the heroes and the villain from the biggest Super Hero movie of all time, and the actors who portrayed them still in tow. Just like Wolverine in the late 80s-early 90s, The Avengers have clawed their way out of second stringer status and are now major cultural icons. These are A-list heroes on a hot streak.
What makes Thor interesting to me his interaction with Earth and earth issues! Fighting earth menaces like the Wrecker or the Wrecking Crew. The Absorbing Man....

This movie seems to be too focused on Asgard which turns this film into a Lord of the Rings type of movie.....heavy on magic , elfen creatures swords and arrows rather than bombs and lasers......
I loved the battle of science and magic when Thor and Iron squared off....
Now it seems that magic will be the full focus.....
Some folks dont like that kind of movie....dod you think that taking Thor away from Earth will hurt the movie or won't make a difference?
I do think that Ironman 3 should have done "something" with that "after credits" scene to set up Thor 2!
That sets up the anticipation....

Bingo
I don't know how hard it is for people to understand this, it's spelled out as plain as day.
Although I'm definitely looking forward to TDW more then MoS, I certainly don't think it's a given TDW makes more coin. It will be close. Right now I have MoS making 800 m + at the boxoffice. TDW has the Avengers effect, MoS has the Nolan effect.
I personally don't think there's a "Nolan effect" idk why though. I tend to see movies more for who is in them or what they're related to, directors or writers or producers have never really been a reason I've seen a movie. But hey, that's just me. That being said every Nolan movie I've seen I love.

Thor will not only have The Avengers effect, it will also have the Iron Man 3 effect which is set to make almost as much.
No doubt the momentum is great, but enough to top MoS....? I don't know, it's a close call imo.
I'm just saying it has more going for it, of course we don't know which film will actually earn more.

That IM3 "might" beat MoS seems like a pretty huge understatement of it's chances.honestly I don't see this beating MoS.... IM3 might beat MoS but I don't think Thor has enough star power right now to topple supes
If it only increases 11% then I wouldn't say that there's any Avengers effect going on at all. IM3 is almost on the pace of doubling the gross of it's predecessor, and IM2 made more than Thor.Look for Thor to make about 200 million here in the USA and to make about 300 million in the foreign markets. It will have a worldwide gross of around 500 (give or take). The first Thor wasn't a huge huge hit (449 million) but thanks to the Avengers and the fact that Thor and Loki are becoming very popular it should give the movie a boost. But it won't beat IM3 and MAYBE it could beat MOS but that's a big maybe.
