jackass forever, the umpteenth sequel to these gag films with not necessarily delicate humor and based on absurd, embarrassing or dangerous situations, achieved 40% of the box office in the United States and Canada, having garnered 23 million dollars.
In second place but far behind (10 million receipts), moonfall totals 17% of the revenues of the first 12 films for its first weekend in theaters, according to preliminary figures published by Exhibitor Relations.
The film, directed by the master of mainstream disaster film Roland Emmerich, tells in a first degree far from Don’t Look Up the story of an ex-astronaut working at NASA (Halle Berry) who attempts an impossible mission to save the Earth, threatened with annihilation by… the fall of the Moon.
For its eighth week in theaters, Spider-Man: No Way Home, the latest installment of the Adventures of Spider-Man, demoted to third position at nearly $10 million in revenue. With a total of nearly 750 million, the film brings, over the length, a breath of fresh air to a cinema industry brought to its knees by the pandemic.
The new version of the horror movie saga Scream arrives in 4and location (2and last week) with nearly 5 million in revenue, ahead of the Universal Studios animated film Song 2 with just over $4 million.
