Box Office: 'Thor: The Dark World' Hammers Its Way to #1

1. Thor: The Dark World- $86.1M
There's a reason why other studios don't put other films opposite of Marvel Studios' superhero projects, and its because of opening weekends like this. Thor: The Dark World somewhat surprisingly crushed the box office to the tune of $86.1M, the fourth highest of the year behind Iron Man 3, Man of Steel, and Fast & Furious 6. It's also a significant jump over the $65M the first film made a couple of years ago. This was set up somewhat by last week's foreign haul of $109M, and worldwide the film has already tallied $327M. So that $170M production budget? A thing of the past. That bump all of Marvel's films seem to be getting after The Avengers? Still very much intact.
