Friday 3rd update, 11:10PM: When Marvel boss Kevin Feige announced the title for the third Thor back in October 2014, he said that Ragnarok meant the end of all things. When it comes to this weekends box office, Thor: Ragnarok isnt the end of anything, rather the beginning of the holiday season for exhibitors. Let their share prices soar. According to latenight ticket sales right now, Thor: Ragnarok has clocked a $46M opening day (including $14.5M previews) and is flying toward an opening between $115M-$120M at 4,080 theaters, the 7th best opening in November, and the 9th title to open north of $100M for the month. No wonder why other studios are envious of Marvel: Typically we expect threequels to sag in their openings, but heres Thor:Ragnarok pouncing on all box office statistics and blasting away its 2011 opening ($65.7M) and 2013 sequel Thor: The Dark World ($85.7M).
CinemaScore audiences gave Thor: Ragnarok an A CinemaScore tonight, the 12th A earned by a Marvel Cinematic Universe title, and the highest CinemaScore ever for a Thor movie. With each movie, the audience response has gotten better moving from a B+ with Thor to A- with Thor: Dark World to now.

It is the 2nd highest opening for any Hollywood film in 2017 and 3X of the opening of Thor: The Dark World (2013). It is also the Biggest non-holiday Friday Collection this year for Hollywood movies and has beaten all other Friday releases by miles! The film is riding high on superb reviews and a fantastic word of mouth and is set to grow over the weekend!

I also think that 41M for Friday is probably a conservative estimate.
Nice. I knew that 41M looked like a conservative estimate. 46.8 is much more like it.Official opening day estimate:

Could be close to Homecoming's OW. Still has a shot at $120M+ if Saturday increase from true Friday(46.82-14.5) is as big as it was for GotG2.

According to latenight ticket sales right now, Thor: Ragnarok has clocked a $46.8M opening day (including $14.5M previews) and is flying toward an opening between $116.5M-$118M+ at 4,080 theaters, the 7th best opening in November, and the 9th title to open north of $100M for the month.

Their range of $116.5-118M seems reasonable based on past MCU films' internal multipliers. GotG2 internal multiplier(minus previews) was an outlier compared to other MCU movies, especially the sequels, so while that could happen again, it is not the norm.

Estimates: thor: Ragnarok posts mighty $46.8m friday, eyes $120m weekend
saturday update: disney and marvels thor: Ragnarok bowed to a mighty $46.819 million on friday, including thursday nights $14.5 million launch. By comparison, the opening day take comes in 44 percent ahead of last years doctor strange ($32.585 million) and 47 percent ahead of 2013s thor: The dark world ($31.9 million), both of which also opened the first weekend of november. Initial word of mouth is quite strong with an 89 percent flixster score as of saturday morning, in line with guardians of the galaxy vol. 2 and just a few ticks behind spider-man: Homecoming (92 percent) and doctor strange (91 percent).
For the weekend, if ragnarok plays out similar to how strange and guardians 2 did in post-thursday business, opening weekend should ring up around the high-end of pre-release expectations with approximately $120 million, which would be good enough for the seventh best november debut of all-time ahead of harry potter and the goblet of fire ($102.7 million).
After seeing this tonight, all I know is that it will have big time legs.
The re-watchability is going to be among the highest of any of the MCU movies, if not all of them.

Many have already rewatched it a number of times and a lot have at least watched it twice. I think its going to be more rewatchable than any MCU movies outside of maybe the big team-up films.
It really is. And that's one of things why i love about this movie so much. It's so fun to watch and you want go back and revisit the world, the characters, the humor, the crazy action, the music... It's not like so many other comic book movies when you watch and then you feel like you don't really need to see that again. This movie has more to it and rewards a second/third viewing...It is amazingly re-watchable. I'm seeing t for the 2nd time in 3 hours.t:
Nice. Hope you guys have a great time. I think the hole family can find something to enjoy about the movie for sure.I'm taking the family to see Thor Ragnarok this afternoon. After the disappointing TDW I'm glad that they have figure it out and gave us a terrific Thor movie that is both a critical and commercial hit.
