Worldwide Box Office: $644.7 million
Average Letterboxd Rating: 2.3
Thor: The Dark World was long regarded as the single worst film in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. Even if a few recent releases have made that title more of a toss-up, it remains one of the least essential entries in the mega-franchise. But it benefited greatly at the box office from coming to theaters a little over a year after The Avengers, at a time when interest in the MCU was at its absolute apex. Which begs the question: If it came out now, how do you think it would fare in theaters?
