Box Office Prediction for Thor 3?
Thor 3 is interesting....
First the MCU films and Brand is clearly established and at this point has a track record of opening between 75-100 Million...
Thor 3 Will be no different...
But there are some things that make Thor 3 interesting.
first Thor 2 was the weakest MCU film, it got the worst reviews out of all MCU films, and It did not have great holds domestically and Finished only slightly above 200 Million.
I also think Time hasn't done the film any favors, Even among the hardcore MCU fans, most seem to agree Thor 2 wasn't great ...
given the reception to Thor 2, I would think Thor 3 might not perform much better....but I dont believe that because there are other factors.
Yes Thor 2 wasn't loved, but Marvel Studios has put out 8 moves since then and many of them have been UNIVERSALLY LOVED(Cap 2, GOTG, Civil War,Doctor Strange, GOTG2 and Homecoming)....so I got to believe Word of mouth and GoodWill from those movies will overshadow the disappointment of Thor 2.
Next, Thor 3 clearly has A Important and Exciting Story this time....Kevin Fiege has said :"Thor 3 Will be the Cap 2 of Phase 3" meaning the events of Thor 3 are going to have huge effects of The MCU...
Next, The HULK, With The Hulk and a movie with some of the Planet Hulk Storyline...its going to add HUGE excitement.
Prediction...Assuming Thor 3 is Good and Gets somewhere between 80 and 92% of RT..
Opening Weekend----90 to 110 Million
total Domest----230--280 Million
World Wide---670-770 Million
Its also worth noting Marvel Studios has Knocked it out of the park so far with the 2 Thor 3 trailers...
