Thor - Love And Thunder took an excellent opening of around 40-45% and that too with a Thursday non holiday release. The opening is not as strong as Dr Strange - In The Multiverse Of Madness which had opened at around 55% and almost hit 30 crore nett on day one.

Dr Strange - In The Multiverse Of Madness had the benefit of the BLOCKBUSTER Spiderman film No Way Home which had featured Dr Strange and that catapulted its opening in India.  Still the opening of Thor - Love And Thunder is excellent and one that could challenge that 20 crore nett mark which is rare for a Hollywood film and if it does reach it would be the fifth Hollywood film to do it.

The last Thor film Ragnorak had opened at around 8 crore nett in 2017 so this film should be more than doubling the level of this franchise and this is also with trailer not making the film look an outright action but more of an action comedy and with Hollywood films there are less takers for comedy from there.

The all India advance for the film closed at around 20 crore nett for the extended four day weekend which are huge advance numbers and not many Hindi films have hit this level but its a different story for these big Hollywood films as far as advance is concerned especially at the national chains.
