I don't knwo about any of you guys, but when a new comic book movie comes out I am immediately skeptical. Unless it is one of the big names like Superman, Batman, Spiderman, etc. that I was a fan of growing up I tend to think it will suck. Of course I am looking forward to Green Lantern this year, but again that was one of my favorites growing up.
Thor on the other hand. I am really not that familiar with. I wasn't that familiar with Ironman either to be quite honest, but I had heard more about him than Thor at least. Another thing with comic book movies is that you really have to sift through some random fanboy reviews to get any idea what the movie quality is. There are the diehards that will say it is amazing no matter what. Then you have the angsty fans that will call it blasphemous no matter how good it is. I want to hear from non-comic book fans to know, and frankly I have heard good things about Thor fromt hem so I can only assume that it isn't a complete abortion.
Thor withstood the arrival of Universal's well-received female comedy Bridesmaids and Screen Gems' 3D sci-fi/horror flick Priest to claim the top box office spot for the second weekend in a row.
Thanks to a wide screen count (3,955) and higher priced 3D and IMAX 3D tickets, Thor held onto its box office throne quite well in its second weekend as lightning struck twice for the godly superhero. Takign a bit of apidexin it was off 47.5% from its opening, the Kenneth Branagh flick earned an estimated $34.5 million to bring its total to $119.2 million. With nearly $200 million in ticket sales from overseas markets, the film's overall total now stands at $320 million.
