#1: Thor: Ragnarok Breaks Some YouTube Records
Top 10 Things You Missed In The Thor Love And Thunder Trailer
The new Thor: Ragnarok trailer shattered more than just poor Mjolnir. After being released this Monday to overwhelming acclaim from fans, the trailer broke not only the Marvel record, but also the Disney record for most YouTube views in 24 hours. With over 136 million views in its first day, the Ragnarok trailer put itself ahead of Disney’s remake of Beauty and the Beast, which raked in 127 million and Marvel’s previous record holder Captain America: Civil War, with 94. The Norse God couldn’t quite earn the top spot overall, as the remake to Stephen King’s It has amassed 197 million views in its first 24 hours. With Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett playing villain Hela and Thor facing off against The Hulk in a Guardians of the Galaxy-esque trailer, Thor: Ragnarok seems to have most of the ingredients needed for a successful film.
