Box Office

Propelled by three Hollywood juggernauts, the new live adaptation of The Little Mermaid, Spider-man: Across the Spider-Verse and Fast X, which dominated in theaters last weekend, the month of May closed with very good results for the Italian box-office. Over €40 million in grosses overall, about €15 million more than the same month in 2022, still less than the three years period before the pandemic, but nevertheless rising in a steady trajectory.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse spun its web across the world and the result is spectacular, foreshadowing a summer that will be one for the books. In an instance of a film getting box office love commensurate to its critical and audience acclaim, the animated sequel set several records.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse led the Chinese box office charts this weekend with $18. 05 million grossed over the three-day weekend.

A mermaid splashed to the top and drowned out action stars and superheroes. The Little Mermaid, Rob Marshall’s live-action remake of the 1989 animation blockbuster, starring Halle Bailey in the title role, opened with $104 million in the three-day weekend frame.

Fast X, which opened last weekend in China, continued to dominate the box office in the territory, with $113. 86 million grossed over its run of 12 days and $18.

With Vin Diesel’s Fast X vrooming to the top on its debut, Universal Pictures became the first studio to hit the $1 billion domestic mark in the recent weekend. Diesel’s return as Dominic Toretto fueled a $67 million rally in the North American box office race.

Fast X, the tenth iteration of the Fast and Furious franchise, scored $18. 24 million on its first day of release last Wednesday.

Super Sunday, super weekend and grosses at the Italian box office for Universal’s Fast X, the latest incarnation of the Vin Diesel headlined blockbuster series. The Louis Leterrier-directed motor action movie earned €6.

Those lovable misfits and outcasts kept a tight guard on the box office champion throne. On its second weekend, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 continued its winning streak at the China box office with a total gross of $59.
