Disney‑Marvel’s “Thor: Ragnarok” has topped the international box office with 107.6 million US dollars in 52% of overseas markets, a week ahead of its U.S. release.

The U.K. is the top market with $15.8 million, 27% ahead of “Doctor Strange.”

It’s the biggest October opening ever for a movie in the U.K. except for James Bond titles.

Disney said the opening of the third Thor movie is 4% ahead of “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,” which wound up with $481 million at current exchange rates and 22% ahead of “Doctor Strange.”

In many markets, “Thor: Ragnarok” posted the best October opening weekend ever.

Markets which will open next weekend include Germany, Russia, China, Japan and Mexico, along with the U.S. — where it should top the early November box office with as much as $125 million in its opening weekend, early projections have shown.

“Thor: Ragnarok” is directed by Taika Waititi from New Zealand.

Waititi’s feature films Boy and Hunt for the Wilder people became the top-grossing New Zealand films.
