Box Office: ‘Thor: The Dark World’ Reigns Top Spot Again With $38.5 Million

 

 

Christmas came early for Universal and the filmmakers behind “The Best Man Holiday,” including writer-director Malcolm D. Lee, whose holiday-themed sequel scored an estimated $30.6 million at the domestic box office. But the merry “Holiday” still was no match for Disney-Marvel’s “Thor: The Dark World,” which earned a chart-topping projected $38.5 million in its second week of release.

“The Dark World,” which so far has amassed a whopping $147 million domestically, reached $479.8 million globally, eclipsing the original “Thor,” which came just shy of $450 million worldwide in 2011.
