sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon. -
Looks like the God of Thunder kicked major arse in the superhero battle...lol.
Thor is obviously more favored in foreign markets than Captain America...that much is obvious....but Thor also won the domestic battle.
I highly doubt Captain America will go much further up in the box office ranks.
X-Men was a surprise little hit...pretty cool.
I'm sorry to report...but Green Lantern was a major bomb ($40 million loss)...even if there's talk of a sequel...I doubt is going to happen. I even think reboot could be in the works instead. Not looking good for the Lantern dude.
BTW...X-Men First Class was my personal favorite of the lot.sigpicComment

I wonder how the lackluster performance of GL effects his placement in a potential JLA movie....especially if there is not a sequel and Reynolds bails on the role. Does WB reboot the character with someone else (ala The Hulk in The Avengers) for the sake of a JLA movie?Think OUTSIDE the Box! For the BEST in Repro & Custom Packaging!Comment

While he probably won't catch up to Thor, Cap will probably still continue to make decent money for a few more weeks, just due to the fact that the summer movie race is over. Not much "WOW" at the theaters now, so theaters won't pull him as fast as Thor or X-Men...or GL.Captain America needs an extra $200 million to match Thor's worldwide numbers...heck, Captain America still needs an extra $37 million to catch up to Thor domestically this late in the game...it ain't happening.
That will interesting to see. A JLA movie is so far off, I bet WB has no clue what they are doing with it beyond lip service to it.I wonder how the lackluster performance of GL effects his placement in a potential JLA movie....especially if there is not a sequel and Reynolds bails on the role.

I had hope Thor would just do well but to top the rest of the SH movies of the summer was unforseen.sigpic

Captain America might have an outside chance of catching up Thor in the domestic market...it's already hovering around the $160 million mark...about $20 million away from Thor's domestic take so far.
But as far as foreign box office is concern?
Not in this universe...perhaps on a parallel universe...but not this one...Captain America just didn't achieve Thor's numbers overseas...
Thor: $267,166,560
Captain America: $134,524,928
Thor did way better in foreign markets than here in the USA.
Captain America is not beloved overseas like other superheroes (and we all know why)...interestingly enough though, Captain America's biggest box office outside the USA was in Mexico...followed by Brazil, United Kingdome, Autralia, and the biggest shock of them all...Russia...lol...

That means Mexico loves the USA the most!

Don't let Thunderbolt's smear campaign get you down. The sequel is on.

I think the reason why Thor beat Cap is that Cap also came out sandwich between Harry Potter and The Smurfs. It was a lot tougher time slot that Thor had.
WOW. Who would've thought that a Thor movie would have done as well as it did 20 or even 30 years ago.Comment

I think timing and a lack of spacing between these films hurt all of them. The general public are sick of hero films. This industry is not big enough to compete with itself.Comment

funny, the CEo of Time Warner doesn't seem to agree
And Ryan Reynolds doesn't seem to know either. Seems like he would, unless he's getting kicked to the curb.
