"Thor: The Dark World" managed to hold on at the top spot this weekend but was very closely followed by the comedy "The Best Man Holiday". The Marvel sequel pulled off $38 million over the 3-day timeframe, bringing its total cume to $146 million in the US, which is still under the first "Thor" ($181 million), but well on its way to beat the first film's gross. The Thor franchise is not one of Marvel's ultra-high earners domestically, but internationally it's doing much better. "Thor: The Dark World" has earned $332 million overseas, so far.
"The Best Man Holiday", a sequel to the 1999 comedy "The Best Man", managed to take second place with $30 million in its opening weekend versus a $17 million budget. The first film earned $34 million in its entire theatrical run, costing only $8 million to make.
The comedy "Last Vegas" and the animated feature "Free Birds" also followed each other pretty closely, but with much smaller figures, $8.8 million and $8.3 million, respectively. The R-rated comedy "Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa" rounds up the top five with $7.6 million.
More box-office details and the complete top 10, after the jump.
