Thor breaking box office records overseas


From worstpreviews, "Thor" will hit theaters in the US on Friday (May 6th) but is already breaking records in overseas markets. This weekend alone, the film has grossed $83 million, which is 2011's biggest opening weekend total by more than $25 million.

"Thor" has brought in a total of $93 million internationally, when you count the $10 million earned in Australia during the last week. In Vietnam, the film grossed $308,000 from 19 sites, which is a debut record for the market. It also opened in first place in the UK, Ireland, France, South Korea, Italy, Spain, Taiwan, Singapore and Philippines.

The $150 million movie will easily make its money back by next weekend. It was able to beat "Fast Five" internationally and the fifth "Fast and the Furious" installment opened to a whopping $83 million at home.

Not that I'm gay for Thor or anything, but why the heckity heck are these blatantly non-USA countries seeing it first?

I watched the first 30 minutes online the other night and it's a lot of fun!
