After the disappointing debuts of In the Heights and Peter Rabbit 2 last weekend, the box office in the US and Canada combined looks pretty underwhelming, even with The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard taking the top spot at the box office with $11.68M in a three-day period on 3,331 screens and $17.02M from its Tuesday night opening.
This amount includes funds from previews held last Friday and Saturday). The second was A Quiet Place 2 (A Quiet Place Part II) with 9.4 million dollars. Godzilla vs. Kong has finally crossed the now cherished $100 million mark domestically.
Quiet Place 2 collected only 22% less than last weekend. Its domestic total now stands at an impressive $125.26 million, making it the highest-grossing film of the pandemic era to date. Although the film will likely lose that title once the action-packed Fast and Furious 9 (F9) hits theaters next weekend. Peter Rabbit 2 climbed to third place with $6.1 million in its second weekend, 40% of its debut. In fourth place was The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, which collected $5.15 million in its third weekend, bringing its domestic total to $53.6 million at the moment. In fifth place in its fourth outing is Disney’s Cruella, which took in $5.1 million, down just 24% from last weekend, bringing its North American total to $64.74 million to date . Notably, this weekend’s Godzilla vs. Kong from Warner Bros. became the second film during the pandemic to break the once cherished domestic $100 million mark. The picture, which was simultaneously available for streaming, collected about 250 thousand dollars for the 12th weekend of rental, which to date is 100.11 million dollars in the United States and Canada together.
And, in conclusion, briefly about the affairs of foreigners. Fast & Furious 9 opened in 13 more countries this weekend and took in $19.08 million, bringing its international cume to $292.07 million. Along with its US debut next weekend, the action sequel will open in Brazil, Mexico, the UK and Ireland. A Quiet Place 2 grossed about $15.7 million in 45 countries in its fourth weekend of international release. The sequel’s overseas haul now stands at $96.7 million. The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It has now collected $89.2 million domestically and $142.8 million worldwide.
