Thunderbolts* has received great reviews to rival nearly any Multiverse Saga movie, but the film’s box office performance is tapering off slightly quicker than many expected. After earning $16.6 million domestically during its third weekend in theaters, a 49% drop from the weekend before, Thunderbolts* now sits at a $155.5 million domestic total. The film has also added $170.7 million internationally for a global cumulative haul of $326.2 million. This $155 million at the domestic box office is enough to push Thunderbolts* past Fast X, the action sequel starring Alan Ritchson that collected $146 million domestically. However, despite a “rotten” 57% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, the film also added a whopping $568 million internationally for a worldwide total of $714 million — more than double Thunderbolts* at the time of writing.
