The second big-budget studio release of the summer grossed a solid $66 million, according to an estimate from distributor Paramount Pictures. The 3-D film about a Norse god destroyed the two other films in wide release this weekend, which were both romantic comedies about marriage.

"Something Borrowed," which had a bigger budget and is based on Emily Giffin's bestselling novel of the same name, had a soft $13.2-million take.

There were major glitches with Rentrak reporting numbers last night. But now Marvel/Disney's Thor distributed by Paramount is looking like $25.5 million for its Friday opening and $65+M for the weekend.
