Thor got more competition than was expected this weekend. The God of Thunder remained in first with $38.4 million and in two weeks has already passed the first film’s worldwide gross. The total now stands at $479 million.
The Best Man Holiday is a sequel to the 1999 film, The Best Man, and it played like it had only been a few years since its release and not fourteen. It nearly doubled its expected take bringing in $30.6 million. We can assume that there won’t be another long wait before another movie in the franchise is released.
Gravity kept is amazing run going crossing half a billion dollars worldwide.
This weekend will be huge with the release of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire which is looking to set records for November opening and how many times I can see a movie because Jennifer Lawrence is in a wetsuit.
