The question that has to be asked is was the original Thor really as well received in the states as the fans thought it was? My answer was always no or it would have sold as much as Captain America on DVD.
I think this boost is only because of The Avengers and nothing more. Without The Avengers bump I was planning on predicting the same or slightly lower numbers than the first one to be honest.
Where do you find good DVD/blu ray numbers? And just out of curiosity what do you think this new hobbit movie is going to pull domestic? More or less than the last one?
