Thor: The Dark World, in its third week in the cinemas, has made a significant impact in the world box office compared to the first Thor movie. One main draw of the sequel compared to the original may be the increased screen time of Tom Hiddleston as Loki alongside Chris Hemsworth's Thor. Hiddleston played a strategic and humorous anti-hero/villain throughout the movie, which kept the viewers and engaged and always entertained by his ever-deepening personality. Another large boost came from the incredibly successful Avengers movie, which highlighted Thor and Loki both as more interesting and watchable characters.
From the original Thor's $65.7 Million opening weekend box office, Thor: The Dark World jumped to an opening box office gain of $85.7 Million. As the movie begins to level out, the final worldwide gross is $477.8 Million, receiving over half of that from foreign countries. Though Thor 2 didn't come close to Iron Man 3's $1.2 Billion, it is on track to be the highest grossing Marvel movie without Robert Downey Jr. in it.
Overall, audiences rated Thor 2 as an "A-" film through CinemaScore. The intense actions scenes, strong female roles, tragic and heartbreaking scenes, and ridiculously funny Loki moments all added up to be a very successful film. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it.
