Chris Hemsworth-starrer Thor: Love and Thunder was facing a tough time when it came to the box office collection. The latest Marvel Studios offering started slow. It opened at Rs 18.60 crore on its first day of release in India, as per reports.
However, on the third day it has picked up and is nearing the Rs 50-crore mark. Globally, trade experts are predicting the film to hit the $300 million mark by the end of Sunday. This will make it one of the most successful films of the year.
Directed by Taika Waititi, Thor: Love and Thunder is part of Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Apart from Chris returning as the God of Thunder, Natalie Portman and Tessa Thompson have also returned with their respective roles. Christian Bale, on the other hand, made his MCU debut as the villain Gorr the God Butcher.
