Box Office: Thunderous 'Thor' destroys two romantic comedies

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. "Jumping the Broom," about two families from different backgrounds converging at a wedding, collected a decent $13.7 million. "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.

 

'Thor' Hammering Past $65M Weekend; 'Fast Five' Holding For $40M; 'Jumping Broom' $16M; 'Something Borrowed' $13M

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.
