Box Office Breakdown! Thor Muscles His Way To #1! Bad Grandpa Falls To #2! Ender’s Game Bombs! Doh!
Man, the God Of Thunder stormed his way to the top of the box office this week!
God bless Chris Hemsworth! In fact Thor: The Dark World took in 20 million dollars more than the first Thor film! Niiiiiiiiiice!
Check out Susan’s Full recap below!
_________________________________________________________________________________
No surprises at the box office this week. Thor the Dark World pummeled the competition, taking in $86 million in its opening weekend! Its predecessor took in $65 million its opening weekend, so this is an impressive increase to the franchise.
Bad Grandpa hung tough at the number two spot for the third week in a row with $11.3 million. There’s no shame there in being second banana.
Free birds actually climbed up a spot to number three with $11.8 million. If it can maintain this position, it should recoup its $55 million budget.
The boys from Last Vegas added another $11 million to their domestic total of $33.5 million.
Ender’s Game fell considerably to the number five spot after a luke warm opening at number one last week. The jury is still out on whether Lionsgate will continue this expensive franchise.
Gravity came in at number six with another $8.4 million to add to its $231 million domestic total.
12 Years a Slave opened to more theatres again this week and managed to stay at the number seven spot with $6.6 million.
Captain Phillips sailed down to the number eight spot with $5.8 million, maintaining its course for an easy $100 million domestic total.
Add another $5 million to the time traveling dramedy About Time, which actually climbed from last week’s opening number thirteen spot to this week’s number nine position. Good word of mouth may help it recoup its losses.
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 rounded out the top ten with $2.8 million, bring tis domestic total to $109 million, which isn’t too far behind its predecessor’s $124 domestic total.
Check out the full box office chart below.
1 Thor: The Dark World $86,109,000 $86,109,000

10 Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 $2,800,000 $109,976,000
Next week I’m predicting Thor: The Dark World will maintain the top spot even with a huge drop in ticket sales. Best Man Holiday should come in close behind.
Tune in to see if I’m right!
Until then, happy movie going.

I said damn! Thor is great. Hot, damn that man is smokin’
Suze-a-ma-tang you rock once again!
Thanks Ryan – and Thor is definitely hot!!!
Oh Susan, Time is rolling, the lands are barren and the seas are adrift with sadness and turpitude. Oh, how we enjoy hearing which films will climb to the top of the heap and which will fall down the ladder to nothingness. If only suddenly Susan can chart out our lives like the box office. Susan, your words speak to my soul and infest my every libidinous pore.
I carved a pumpkin for the holiday, and Susan even though I’ve been gone, I’ve been thinking of you. Thinking of your writing, your smile, and your immortal vestitude… Susan you inspire me. My pumpkin this year was not a face, it was not a smile, all it said was Suddenly Susan Yay!
My father didn’t like it, but then we did the dance of the himalayan aardvark and he was much more jolly after that. My mother called my friend Siebert after I plunged into a deep and utter despair over the past couple weeks. I would only drink black coffee and eat molasses pie, but that was no matter. I went to the forest with Siebert and we did a rain dance, but the rain never came and it made me sad for life.
The forest without a chipmunk is really no forest Susan. I know you’ve said it before and I agree about those chipmunks. They are small but wily.
Really Susan, let’s get real. Enough of the simplicity and duplicity of our being. I wanted a shrub that’s newly green but the leaves turned the color of mustard and I took offense. Really? Come on now bush stop that nonsense.
I am upset though Susan, I feel like The Frenchman is about to betray us and the lanky one wants to tell us something but we’re not sure what he’s saying because he only speaks to the hobgoblins. Can’t trust those little buggers. They crawl into your skin and won’t let go. We need to get word Susan, don’t let the Frenchman betray us all. We need him on our side. The voyage needs to be taken and without the Frenchman I doubt we’re going to have any rations for our journey. I did bake some small mini doughnuts. they taste like tosh tosh but have elasticity that could save our souls.
Susan. I’m not sure about all of this. If only you were here, I’m very difficult right now. Life is hard, I could use a dazzle of your brilliance. Your happy. Your joy. Your nuggets of goodness. I would pop those nuggets and appreciate everything. Oh… Our journeys in life shall never cross the divide.
Our pumpkins are for you though. The pumpkins of Suddenly Susan, carved into a smile
