THOR soars to top the weekend
|
THOR: THE DARK WORLD took the weekend by a wide margin making more than the next nine movies combined. BAD GRANDPA took a distant second while FREE BIRDS, LAST VEGAS and ENDER’S GAME rounded out the top five. |
|
THOR’s mighty haul is expected to look modest compared to the opening of THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE on November 22. Families can look forward to FROZEN opening across the country November 27. |
