"Thor: Love and Thunder" may not match its predecessor, "Thor: Ragnarok," but the Marvel movie has reached a major box office milestone.
Despite not being one of the most acclaimed titles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, “Thor: Love and Thunder” has passed the $700 million milestone at the global box office. Hardly the hero's fourth solo film will be able to exceed the US$ 854 million of “Thor: Ragnarok”, but it is worth noting that “Love and Thunder” did not debut in China and Russia, which is estimated to reduce around US$ 150 million of the total.
Despite not threatening “Ragnarok” at the global box office, “Thor: Love and Thunder” has already reached US$ 386,5 million at the box office in the United States alone, an amount higher than the US$ 315 million of its predecessor. If it were released in Russia and China, it is estimated that “Love and Thunder” would be close to the US$ 869 million of “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” and the $881 million for “Spider-Man: Homecoming.”
On the other hand, the box office success of “Thor: Love and Thunder” doesn’t even stop at Marvel’s other recent blockbuster, “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” which surpassed $950 million in worldwide grosses and has not surpassed the $1 billion mark for also not being released in China and Russia, or “Spider-Man: No Return Home,” which totaled a staggering $1,9 billion.
The current amount collected at the box office by “Thor: Love and Thunder” places the film in sixth position among films released in 2022, behind “Minions 2: The Rise of Gru”, which already accumulates US$ 765 million, “Batman” US $770 million, "Doctor Strange 2" $954 million, "Jurassic World: Dominion" $965 million and "Top Gun: Maverick," the year's No. 1 $1,3 billion.

“Thor: Love and Thunder” had a historic opening weekend, a franchise-best $144 million, but suffered a huge 68% drop in its second weekend.

In addition to the duo, the cast has a villain lived by Christian Bale and names like Tessa Thompson, Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, Pom Klementieff, Karen Gillan, Russell Crowe and the voices of Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper.
