Positive word of mouth and strong reviews helped Marvel’s Thor: Ragnarok top the first and second films of the solo Thor film series’ opening weekend numbers. Thor: Ragnarok posted an impressive $121 million domestically over its first three days at the box office, easily besting 2013’s Thor: The Dark World‘s $85 million opener. The original Thor film with Chris Hemsworth earned $65 million during its first three days in theaters back in 2011.
The Bad Moms sequel, A Bad Mom’s Christmas, also helped kick off the holiday movie season on a positive note. Launching in theaters on Wednesday, November 1, 2017, A Bad Mom’s Christmas reunited the main cast of the 2016 R-rated comedy – Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, and Kathryn Hahn – for more female-driven fun. Over its first five days in theaters, A Bad Mom’s Christmas rang up $21.5 million. That opening is behind the 2016 Bad Moms which grossed $23.8 million over its first three days.
Up Next: The comedy sequel Daddy’s Home 2 with Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell, as well as the latest screen adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express.
