Thor Love & Thunder: 302 million dollars collected in one weekend, a colossal start!

If Spain will have to wait until July 13 to be able to discover the new adventures of Thor within the MCU, in other countries, the film has been broadcast for a few days. Released on July 6 in Belgium and on July 8 in the United States and Canada, Thor Love & Thunder is already a hit at the box office with more than 302 million dollars collected in a few days. Nothing surprising when you know that all Marvel films are generally cash machines. According to the Variety site, Thor Love and Thunder grossed $143 million in North America, and $159 million in other countries around the world that already air it. That's better than Thor Ragnarok which made $123 million when it launched in North America 5 years ago in 2017. the latter ranks behind Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness ($185 million) and Jurassic World Dominion ($145 million). Thor Love & Thunder did better than Minions 2, however, which raked in a not-so-bad $45,5 million in its second week, for a total of $210 million.



Anyway, Thor Love and Thunder has no room for error, he who cost a whopping $ 250 million to produce, which is significantly higher than the latest MCU productions such as Dr. Strange 2 (200 million budget), The Eternals (200 million budget) or even Shang-Chi (150 million budget). None of these films has managed to cross the billion dollars at the box office, even if Dr Strange 2 is approaching with difficulty.
