ThorLoveAndThunder continues to reign at the weekend box office, securing the number one spot in theaters once again.

— The Marvel sequel"Thor: Love & Thunder" dropped a hefty 68% in its second weekend of release but still held the top spot at the box office, according to studio estimates Sunday, while the bestseller adaptation"Where the Crawdads Sing" debuted with a better-than-expected $17 million.

"Love and Thunder" also faced a trio of newcomers, though none came close to toppling Chris Hemsworth's god of thunder. Best among them was Sony Pictures'"Where the Crawdads Sing," Olivia Newman's adaptation of Delia Owens' 2018 North Carolina-set novel. It opened well despite weak reviews . It was a particularly good result for a page-to-screen drama, and another sign that adult audiences — who have also helped fuel and"Elvis" — are nearly all the way back to pre-pandemic levels after going largely absent for much of the last two-plus years.
