Captain America's Opening Weekend Wasn't Bigger Than Thor

Not unexpected, but slightly disappointing nonetheless: according to final box office numbers released on Monday, Captain America: First Avenger did not have the biggest opening weekend of any superhero film released in 2011. That title still belongs to Thor -- the Norse god earned almost $700,000 more than Captain America did during his initial frame. On the bright side, here's guessing plucky underdog Steve Rogers wouldn't have it any other way. [LAT/Company Town]
