General audience liking standards are relatively lower. Even the worst commerical films get like "its ok" from 70% audience. And so is the case for THOR L&T.
BUT for sustained success of MCU, they need to take that % back to 90%+.
Both LSC and Raksha Bandhan has poor start but RB can be excused being a small film. LSC is a DISASTER.
May be ₹10-11cr Nett opening for LSC. RB ₹7-8cr.
