It's a really addicting trailer to watch, I'm not surprised
It doesn't have Jane duh.

I wonder how strong Thor is without his hammer. I remember in the first movie he was like a mortal without it, but maybe Odin just cast a spell that made him human. It must be the second otherwise Thor wouldn't jump headfirst into Hulk.

No, its Thor 3: Ragnarok: The Dark World 2

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
Why do people keep saying this, when this applies to every other youtube movie trailers too?

I hated Thor and Thor: The Dark World but this trailer for Ragnarok was great. It looks like Thor: Guardians of the Galaxy Edition. Which I'm down for.

Pretty sure we can directly attribute this to Jeff Goldblum.

Last Jedi trailer will take the title back Friday.
The Goldblum factor must account for at-least 50% of the views.

Anything counts as a "view" nowadays for the sake of having a headline
With Youtube you are typically choosing to watch the videos. On some social media platforms, they autoplay, and are counted as a view after 2-3 seconds.
When Paramount was claiming 100M views for XXX, the Youtube view count was something like 6M views. Even now, none of them are over 14M.
Well other than this Bollywood Timeline clip that has 77M views

it's great. but I wear we hear this with ever new major movie trailer. I guess more people than ever are using YT.
I think that the channel tricks people into thinking some videos are softcore porn shots. Look at their list of most viewed videos (As NSFW as Youtube gets):

Of course the videos have none of that stuff in them. They are basically just EW style clips about Bollywood films.

Hopefully it's a precursor to the full movie's reception, if nothing else. Lemme go watch it again.

I do understand this. What I am saying is, this (autoplay on social media) applies to trailers for other movies too isn't it? Thor: Ragnarok isn't the only movie trailer that is autoplaying on facebook and stuffs.
Oh. No. I thought it was just a weird phone capitalizing error. Didn't think it was referring to "it"

I really liked Thor and Thor 2: The Dark World and I really think Thor 3: Ragnarok is looking pretty damn great.

Really? Thought the editing was actually pretty poor. The content looked solid though.

Yeah. IT holds the overall record right now and that was a couple weeks ago
I imagine we'll see a thread like this again this weekend when the last Jedi hits
This.
Awesome trilogy.

It definitely has ramped up. When IT has doubled the record set by The Force Awakens (which made over $900M domestic and $2B worldwide) in a span of two years, you know something is up. It's not like Star Wars fans aren't rabid consumers are Star Wars media.

Check the box office in September and you may change your tune.
edit: Just for the record, I am NOT implying it will outopen Star Wars, lol. But IT is gonna demolish the September opening record by a massive margin; bank on it.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Really? I heard legit excitement about that trailer.
$80M in September would be record breaking by a massive margin, despite us getting 8-10 openings in that range each year. The September record is still stuck at $48M.
IT will be huge for Horror and September, but not really all that special overall (despite the 200M "views" in 24 hours record).
I even got me excited and I felt so meh towards the first two thor movies.

glad it wasn't just me that noticed this.
I'm curious as to why marketing and PR teams think this is important to make a point of. does it drive further views? do those further views turn into ticket sales? I wonder what data they have, or if they're just doing it because others are doing it.

I actually am thinking $80M opening for it, unless the marketing falls on its face going forward.
And I think that would be special overall; it'd be the biggest horror opening of all time, let alone for an R rated horror film, and 4th among all R rated films. Perfectly befitting a film with the trailer view record.

Yeah these view counts are bullshit.
But there's a good count on YT which is probably the most trusty metric.

Youtube only keeps track of Youtube, though.
People see the trailer in tons of different websites and across different channels even on the same site.
