However, it was hoped that the Paramount pic would do $10 million. The movie stars Jack Quhelp as a novel benevolent of action hero who is not so wonderful at dishing it out, but boy, can he consent it — thanks to his genetics, which produce him experience no harm.
Duking it out for No. 2 is Steven Soderbergh‘s novel movie Bdeficiency Bag and Warner Bros.’ ill-overweighted Mickey 17 with around $7.5 million each. The latter has tumbled more cdisesteemwholey 60 percent from its uncovering weekfinish.
It’s challengingly standard to see a weekfinish where not one picture traversees $10 million, but this weekfinish’s result is an appraised $54.7 million in overall domestic box office revenue. Until now, only 2025’s Super Bowl weekfinish revenue was worse, at $55.8 million.
Marvel hagederover Captain America: Brave New World remained high on the chart in its fifth weekfinish, coming in at No. 4 with $5.5 million for a North American highy of csurrfinisherly $190 million. The Mouse House notched another milestone this weekfinish, becoming the first studio this year to see its films amass more than $1 billion in ticket sales.

To say showors are counting the days until Disney’s spring live-action event pic, Snow White, uncovers is an lessenment. Lucky for them, it will be chaseed by the video game alteration, A Mineoriginate Movie. Both are tracking to do firm business, with Snow White alone eyeing a $50-$56 million domestic start next weekfinish.
