Thor: Love and Thunder got off to a surprisingly strong start at the box office. Only two movies in their first weekend made more money than the Marvel movie starring Chris Hemsworth.
Strong theatrical start for ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’: The fourth single film for the God of the North embodied by Chris Hemsworth (38) released over the weekend. According to “Variety” 302 million US dollars (about 298 million euros) worldwide.
The latest movie from the Marvel Cinematic Universe grossed $143 million (about €141 million) in the United States alone. Thor 4 has made the remaining $159 million (about €157 million) outside the US – although it hasn’t (yet) been shown in cinemas in France, China and Russia. According to Variety, the film exceeded the expectations of Marvel and its parent company, Walt Disney Pictures.
