Taor Waititi’s Thor: Love & Thunder fell a massive 68% on Weekend No. 2, earning $ 46 million nationally according to Deadline. That was enough to keep the God of Thunder at the top of the box office lists, but the drop is among the highest for a Marvel Cinematic Universe entry along with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (67%) and Black Widow (68%), and that The photo has no excuse for Disney + day and date release to tour like the latter.
However, worldwide, the Marvel movie is expected to surpass $ 500 million and has already amassed $ 20.5 million from Imax screens. It will be interesting to see how far this can go in the coming weeks. Doctor Strange still managed to reach nearly a billion dollars before launching into Disney +. While that figure is a far cry from the $ 1.901 billion earned by Spider-Man: No Way Home, it’s still a good chunk of change for Marvel and Disney.
In other words, comic book movies are still pretty safe, even though the cracks are starting to show.
