Will Thor bring more Thunder to the box office? (A movie news post)

After strong performances from Top Gun: Maverick, Jurassic World: Dominion, Elvis and Minions: The Rise of Gru, Thor: Love and Thunder is hoping to continue the winning streak and make up for Disney’s Lightyear blunder. Reviews are good but not great however, it’s looking like $140 million-$167 million for opening weekend. If you don’t remember, I predicted Spider-Man: No Way Home and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness to both open with $158 million only to then open with $260 million and $187 million respectively and for Thor: Love and Thunder, that’s the exact number I’m going with. If it becomes the third Marvel film in a row to make more than expected, then I’ll be darned. And I would be extremely shocked if the movie made more on opening weekend than the original Thor’s entire theater run. Come back on Friday for Thursday previews results, Saturday for opening day results and Sunday for weekend estimates.
