Box Office

Before F9: The Fast Saga speeds up to the domestic box office race this week, Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L. Jackson, and Salma Hayek’s The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard hit the bullseye in North America and emerged number one.

A Quiet Place Part II roared and prevented In the Heights from soaring to number one in the recent domestic box office weekend race. Despite early predictions that it would lord over the turnstiles, Jon M.

Thanks to the loud-and-clear, stronger-than-expected performance of A Quiet Place Part II, combined with the solid showing of Cruella, the recent Memorial Day weekend buoyed hopes that moviegoing attendance is indeed back with a vengeance. With the one-two punch of John Krasinski’s sequel to his 2018 horror hit and Emma Stone’s origin story of the puppy-hating villainess, it was the first weekend in over a year when the North American box office ticket sales exceeded $100 million.

F9 raced to finish spectacularly in its debut in several overseas territories and quickly set milestones. On its earnings from eight markets, the latest installment of the hugely popular Fast & Furious franchise marked the biggest international bow for a Hollywood movie during the COVID-19 health crisis period.

A movie in which Chris Rock switches from comedy to horror spiraled to the top of the domestic box office. Spiral, whose original full title is Spiral: From the Book of Saw, catapulted to number one with $8.

Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham, teaming up for the fourth time in Wrath of Man, unleashed box office fury this past weekend with $8. 1 million to take the number one spot in the domestic chart.

China flexed its muscle as the world’s largest film market during the recent five-day May Day and Labor Day weekend. The box office total of the top three movies alone reached more than $124 million.

Who won in the tight box office battle between Mortal Kombat and Demon Slayer? As Godzilla and Kong continue to duke it out against rivals in the overseas box office, Mortal Kombat, led by Cole Young (Lewis Tan) and Demon Slayer the Movie: Mugen Train (original title – Kimetsu no Yaiba: Mugen Ressha-Hen), fronted by Tanjiro Kamado (voiced by Zach Aguilar), fought for numbers one and two positions in the domestic chart. Mortal Kombat won this round in the domestic market.

  Like its outsize protagonists, Godzilla vs. Kong continues to be gargantuan at the box office.

Following its huge bow in the international market, Godzilla vs. Kong also set a record-shattering debut in the North American box office.
