Hey Marvel fans! Ever wondered which of Chris Hemsworth‘s solo “Thor” adventures raked in the most gold? You know, the kind of gold that makes space pirates say “wow”? Well, grab your hammers and prepare for a lightning-fast journey through the God of Thunder’s box office history!
First up, the OG “Thor” (2011) blasted onto the scene, introducing us to a cocky prince who learns humility (and how to use a hammer) the hard way. It did well, earning a cool $449 million around the globe. Not bad for a beginner, right?
Next came “Thor: The Dark World” (2013), where things got a little trippy with reality stones and evil elves. While it wasn’t quite as popular as its predecessor, it still brought home a hefty $644 million, proving Thor was more than just a one-hit wonder.
But then came the game-changer: “Thor: Ragnarok” (2017). Directed by the hilarious Taika Waititi, this movie injected the franchise with a cosmic dose of comedy and rock music. It was basically “Thor: Party Hard” and audiences loved it! With a whopping $853 million worldwide, “Ragnarok” became the undisputed king of the “Thor” movies.
But wait, there’s more! 2022 brought us “Thor: Love and Thunder,” a wild ride with space goats, a villain who hates gods (rude!), and the return of Natalie Portman as the Mighty Thor! While some folks thought it wasn’t quite as epic as “Ragnarok,” it still thundered into theaters, collecting a mighty $343 million. That’s enough to give the original “Thor” and “The Dark World” a high five and say, “See ya later!”
So, which “Thor” movie is the box office champion? Drumroll please… Thor: Ragnarok remains the king of the mountain with its $853 million reign. “Love and Thunder” comes in a close second at $343 million, making it the highest-grossing solo “Thor” film (meaning no Avengers team-ups). Not bad for a movie with screaming goats and a talking axe!
And that’s the story of Thor’s box office adventures! Remember, these are just numbers, and the real treasure is all the fun we have watching the God of Thunder crack wise and smash bad guys. So, grab your popcorn, raise your hammers, and get ready for the next Thor-ific adventure!
