Thunder Deity is King of Box Office
The God of Thunder made modest rumblings at the weekend box office. The official, rather typical, summer start was not quite as bright as last week. Thor, the first of many superhero movies this year headlined the weekend with $66 million. That is less than the movie it is most often compared to – Iron Man. Adding insult to injury is the majestic opening Fast Five received last week to the tune of more than $80 million. This proves that audiences favor familiarity over new beginnings. Fast Five came back with another $32 million putting its total domestic at $139.8 million.
