'Thor: Ragnarok' Thunders to $56.6 Million Second Weekend

"Thor: Ragnarok," starring Chris Hemsworth and directed by Taika Waititi, declined 54% from its $122.7 million opening last weekend and is already the ninth highest domestic grosser of 2017 with $211.6 million in its first 10 days. It's also been a stellar international performer with $438 million in less than three weeks — topping $650 million worldwide.

On Nov. 8, "Thor: Ragnarok" became the 12th consecutive Marvel Cinematic Universe film to top $500 million worldwide.

A24's expansion of Greta Gerwig's "Lady Bird" cracked the top 10 with $1.2 million on 37 screens for an impressive $33,776 per screen average. The comedy-drama posted the best 2017 platform opening last weekend with $364,437 at four sites.

Fox Searchlight's platform release of "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri," starring Frances McDormand and Woody Harrelson, opened with a strong $320,000 at four locations. McDormand plays a small town mother taking on the local police force after her daughter's rape and murder goes uninvestigated for several months.

Wow, the Snowman bombed hard. Only 4 weeks and it's all the way near the bottom of the list. Fassbender :(

Daddy's Home 2's Sunday drop is on the optimistic side, so I am expecting it to dip below that $30M mark a bit.

Still, for a film that was tracking in the low 20s, that is a good result. Ditto for Orient Express

Wow this was a great weekend for movies somehow. Weirdly might be a bad thing for Justice League though, as there is more competition than I thought it would have. It wont just be Thor in its way, it seems.

God damn. Is this going to be the first year that all MCU movies released pass $300 Million Domestically? Phase 3 is a monster.

Totally deserved though. Glad Thor Ragnarok is doing well.

What were the last estimates for Justice League's opening again? Was it around $150 Million, or was it lower?

It's looking pretty set that Thor will pass Wonder Woman worldwide. If Justice League wasn't releasing, it would probably pass GOTG2 worldwide as well. But we'll probably see a pretty sizable dip next weekend, especially in places like Latin America where DC is huge.

Murder getting so close to DH2, with 200 less theaters and being a period piece is pretty interesting

I don't get why DC or Marvel thought releasing two movies with pretty much the same audience two weeks apart was a good idea.

Wow, a pretty solid weekend overall, I wasn't expecting either Murder or Daddy's to get over $25. I was hoping Thor could hit $60, but that is still a good hold.

Really enjoyed Murder on the Orient Express. Hope it does well despite mixed reviews.

It's gonna be interesting to see how exactly these two movies affect each other's BO performance. Especially since we're looking towards a future where we have 3 major players releasing 2-3 superhero movies that are inevitably going to get in each other's way.

i still say ragnarok should have been bumped a week or two...

the (inevitable) good word of mouth, with an extra couple of weeks before JL, would have given it some great legs in week 3 and 4

i'd even suggest that the short two week window before JL might have even cost ragnaroks final BO up to 50m

(having said that, thor, coco, and jedi in one quarter is BANK for disney... and that's how they look at it)

Four. Don't forget Sony's spider-man spin-offs that are coming within months of each other.

Coco is clearing close to $100m in Mexico alone by the end of its run. Biggest movie since Titanic probably.

I am sure the Hispanic-Mexican community reaction to it will be even better in the US. It remains to be seen if other demos will embrace it as well.

Curious to see what the drop on Daddy 2 will be, also congrats to Paramount I think that is the first film of theirs this year to beat its tracking.

Yup.

It's been very amusing to see Deadline go from "only old people care about Murder... so it will be a tough sale to "20th Fox are marketing geniuses"

Murder on the Orient Express beat its early tracking pretty handily. There was an article ahead of the weekend saying it could come in the low 20's, or even lower, though most had it in the mid 20's. It seemed to gain steam as the weekend went. With international it had a $85M opening weekend, against a $55M budget. Pretty solid. Glad for Branagh.

Daddy's Home 2 has a great debut devoid of context, but that budget is a huge WTF.
