'Thor' hammers competition
with $66M
"Thor" smashed the competition at the box office with a $66 million
opening weekend.
The 3-D action picture from Paramount, based on the Marvel comic,
was by far the No. 1 movie, according to Sunday studio estimates.
Australian actor Chris Hemsworth stars as the arrogant god of
thunder who's sent down to Earth as punishment.
In second place was a holdover from last week, the car-racing sequel
"Fast Five" from Universal Pictures. It made $32.5 million for a
total of nearly $140 million in just 10 days.
