Thor: The Dark World had a stellar opening weekend, bringing in $86 million for the fourth biggest opening of the year, and a good chunk more than the original film’s $65 million. The franchise has grown, as has the character’s popularity, and the second instalment should manage to get close to the $200 million mark.
