Also what it makes in eurozone now is far less than what it made for the same amount back in late 2017/early 2018 (for every 100m euro made it was 120m dollars, now is 100m dollars). It’s even worse for yen earned but since Japan is small MCU market it is okay.
I dont know any analysts or reputable trades, not to mention studio internal forecast, did expect it to make $1bn given all circumstances (pandemic, loss in major intl markets) even before the critics controlled the narratives. Maybe there are and I just am not aware of them. Most billion expectation I read were from fans who believed the character was strong enough to do it, without much to support other than perceptions from 2 films whereas Thor was one of the assembled characters.
Could it have made more if certain things were different? No doubt, most films could, but it’s anyones guess how much more.
