Thor Ragnarok: John Lithgow and Taika Waititi

thor ragnarok: The film, from Disney and Marvel and directed by Taika Waititi, out-grossed each of its two predecessors domestically in just two weeks, not accounting for inflation, according to CTV. It easily beat out the comedy sequel Daddy's Home 2 and the lavish Agatha Christie adaptation Murder on the Orient Express, even as both posted solid openings. Studios estimated Sunday that Thor Ragnarok added 56.6 million from North American theatres in its second weekend, bringing its domestic total to 211.6 million. Paramount scored again with Daddy's Home 2, which adds John Lithgow and Mel Gibson to the Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg formula. The first film from 2015 grossed 242.8 million worldwide on a similar budget. The film, which cost a reported 69 million to produce, took second place at the box office with 30 million.
