This unprecedented enthusiasm for the movie sees “Thor: Ragnarok” smash the previous Marvel record, held by “Captain America: Civil War”, which scored 94 million views in its first 24 hours online. The trailer for the third “Thor” movie is also now the world’s most-watched trailer for a Disney film, overtaking “Beauty and the Beast” with 127.6 million views and “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” with 112 million views.
The list of records stops there for “Thor: Ragnarok”, however, which falls short of matching the “It” trailer, unveiled March 29. The Stephen King adaptation scored 197 million views in its first 24 hours online. “The Fate of the Furious”, in U.S. theaters April 14, also drew 139 million views. JB
