With 'Thor: Love & Thunder' staying No. 1 at the box office, meteorologist Karen Rogers has some 'super' fun facts about thunder and lightning!
PHILADELPHIA -- The Marvel sequel"Thor: Love & Thunder" dropped a hefty 68% in its second weekend of release but still held the top spot at the box office, according to studio estimates Sunday, while the bestseller adaptation"Where the Crawdads Sing" debuted with a better-than-expected $17 million.
"Love and Thunder" also faced a trio of newcomers, though none came close to toppling Chris Hemsworth's god of thunder. Best among them was Sony Pictures'"Where the Crawdads Sing," Olivia Newman's adaptation of Delia Owens' 2018 North Carolina-set novel. It opened well despite weak reviews . It was a particularly good result for a page-to-screen drama, and another sign that adult audiences - who have also helped fuel the success of"Top Gun: Maverick" and"Elvis" - are nearly all the way back to pre-pandemic levels after going largely absent for much of the last two-plus years.
Meanwhile, the Illumination animated sequel"Minions: The Rise of Gru" held the second spot with $26 million in its third weekend of release. The Universal Pictures release has thus far grossed $262.6 million domestically and $532.7 million worldwide, setting box-office records along the way.
