Going by trailer views, Thor should open around $160-170m. Once that doesn't happen, we can stop talking about trailer views.
I'm thinking $125M is possible.

I have yet to see any serious correlation between trailer views and opening weekend that isn't at least 80% confirmation bias but so long as there is a stat people are gonna use it to try and spot a pattern and predict based on it.

Shhh, OT will hear you and start threads like "Thor 3 doesn't live up to projected youtube view/OW gross ratio, Marvel facing devastating drops in key franchise."

I feel we should take inflation into account when it comes to trailer views
I really don't understand how Squad didn't tank. That movie had legs. Going by that video, some people just like crap.

Every mall has a Hot Topic.
Who can afford to shop at Hot Topic?
The YouTube stat very roughly correlates within genres. Like, I don't think that you can have a film with the interest of Ragnarok open to Ant-Man numbers (assuming it isnt Fant4stic quality). But you can't rank films based on views. I fully expect Justice League to open significantly higher.
I'm still not willing to predict $100m OW for a Chris Hemsworth movie.

Every teenager who's into anything vaguely pop culture or geek related. I'll admit a couple of times in high school I supplemented my amazing diverse wardrobe of black with $25 HT Batman tees.
Thor 2 was $85M. Zero chance adding the Hulk isnt good for the other $15M.

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.
I was way too bullish on Spider-Man so now I don't know what to think about Thor. The movie looks awesome and I want it to do well, but that might be clouding my judgement.
Thor 2 was coming off Avengers. Thor 3 is coming off Thor 2 and it's still starring Hemsworth.
Thor 2 was like 50 Marvel movies ago though. It's been over 2 years since we had one that had a mixed reception (outside of the GAF where every film has a mixed reception). Ragnarok is going to ride the wave of quality comic films this year.
Thor 2 isn't worth the extra 11 keystrokes of thumb cartilage per mention to repeatedly type out "The Dark World"

It does feel like Thor 3 is being marketed off the strength of faces new to the series like Blanchett and Goldblum to help wash the taste of the "hey remember all your favorite characters from Thor 1? No? Please?" tone apparent in the Thor 2 semicolon The Darck World trailers. Hulk is a crowd pleaser and that doesn't hurt.
Just use initials you fools.
Thor TDW or TTDW if you must.
Ragnarok isn't even hard to spell.

We gotta do this. We got to.
I don't think it'll matter. If the tone for Ragnarok was similar to Dark World, I think people would flee...like a Star Trek Into Darkness -> Beyond drop. But Ragnarok is just checking all the right boxes. They got Hulk in there, it's colorful, funny, and has active female characters.

Thor 3 is a huge question mark for me. I have no idea how well it will do.

As much as I dislike Suicide Squad, and questionable decisions like Killer Croc, its success was helped by having a fairly diverse cast. That's the only real silver lining.

Yeah. I'm willing to eat crow on IT later. I think it's going to do really well, but I'm just not there with these super high estimates.
But Thor? All the money. All of it. Although, I don't think he's gonna do much of anything for the next Star Trek.

You know, normally I am in the camp of finding the Marvel quip machine irksome at s certain point but Ragnarok looks like such a breath of fresh air compared to the past two Thors that I'm actually really into the goofy tone on display so far.
Like, it's hitting the same notes for me that the first Guardians did. I'm hoping it's breezy as fuck and is flippant as can be towards geeky shit like giving Surtur his due or the Fenrir wolf. Let's see Thor best Hulk by making him slip on a banana peel or something Waititi!

A closed pool and T-Mobile has led to me seeing a movie opening day for the first time in a really long time. 15 minutes to go and this showing of Hitman's Bodyguard only has 5 people in it.

Yeah. Just look at the logo change.
Before,
After,
And as someone pretty disappointed with GOTG2, Thor Ragnarok almost looks more inline with what I wanted after the first GOTG. I'm really looking forward to it.

$110m OW for Thor 3 The Darcknarok, $800m WW

There should be an Add-On where every time I see that sludge it changes to the appropriate title.
Like "Drumpfinator".

I'm giving all credit to Cate Blanchett to spite Ike and anyone complicit in rejecting female villain for Thor 2 and Iron Man 3. Well, and Tessa Thompson to spite the same crew who wouldn't cast black women in the MCU movies.

IM3 really got hosed by not having Rebecca Hall be the actual villain
And from what we've seen so far Tessa's gonna steal the damn show

Enchantress. Not that one doing hula dancing in Suicide Squad. Or maybe she would've also done hula dancing. We'll never know!
