Thor: Ragnarok Trailer SHATTERS YouTube Records – The CineFiles Ep. 16
Looks like there is no stopping the God of Thunder. According to Forbes, Thor: Ragnarok will continue its frantic pace at the box office and surpass $600 million in total box office gross. So far, that is. If Taika Waititi’s popular reimagining of the Norse God holds its momentum, the film could knock off money-making machines Transformers: The Last Knight and even fellow Marvel comrade Logan to sneak into 2017’s top 10. The movie may eventually see its numbers slow down, as it will face off against two other blockbusters looking to take over box office buzz. DC’s Justice League is set for release November 16th, and arguably, the year’s most anticipated film, Star Wars: The Last Jedi is sure to garner attention when it’s released December 15th. Thor: Ragnarok currently sits at an impressive 93% on rotten tomatoes and is the highest rated of all three Thor films.
