Following widespread critical acclaim and an "A" CinemaScore, Thor: Ragnarok has gotten off to a spectacular start at the domestic box office, bringing in approximately $46.8 million (including $14.5 million from Thursday night previews) on its first full day of release.

The Taika Waititi-directed feature is now heading toward a massive $118 million opening weekend, which would place it right between James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 ($146.5M) and Jon Watts' Spider-Man: Homecoming ($117M) for Marvel Studios' second-highest opening weekend of the year.

Internationally, the latest Marvel blockbuster has taken in around $164.5 million, which takes its worldwide sum to well past $211.3 million. That figure is expected to go up exponentially over the next few days as the film begins to roll out in both China and Japan day-and-date with its North American release.

In regards to the past two films, Ragnarok will open bigger than both of its predecessors, Thor and Thor: The Dark World, which opened to $65.7M and $85.7M in 2011 and 2013, respectively. The Chris Hemsworth vehicle may actually outgross the entirety of the original Thor ($449.3M) by the end of next week and should easily surpass The Dark World ($644.5M) in the coming weeks.

So, what did you think of the God of Thunder's third solo outing? Sound off with your thoughts below!

In Marvel Studios' "Thor: Ragnarok," Thor is imprisoned on the other side of the universe without his mighty hammer and finds himself in a race against time to get back to Asgard to stop Ragnarok - the destruction of his homeworld and the end of Asgardian civilization - at the hands of an all-powerful new threat, the ruthless Hela. But first he must survive a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against his former ally and fellow Avenger - the Incredible Hulk!

whynot - 11/4/2017, 8:51 AM Hopefully it hits a billion when all said is done. I personally didn’t think it was as epic as I hoped but it was good. Making money is good for all comic book movies I’d rate it at around a 7/10. That being said hopefully justice League is a billion dollar hit also that’s critically acclaimed.
