This opening is almost the same as Johnson’s Rampagewhich opened and topped at $ 35.7 million in 2018 Space Jam: A New Legacy $ 31 million domestic opening two weeks earlier. In other words, with all the talk about how COVID is affecting the box office, it is clear that families are ready to venture into the theaters to see the latest event film.
Interestingly enough, Deadline reports that some in the industry are not overly enthusiastic Jungle cruise‘s opening that pales in comparison to its $ 362 million budget (including selling and marketing expenses). The big question is whether Jungle cruise will continue to pull big numbers in August, or when there is a similar decline as. will give Black widow and Space Jam – an issue that many attribute to the simultaneous openings of HBO Max and Disney +.
Elsewhere, A24’s The Green Knight opened to $ 6.78 million from 2,790 theaters, exceeding the studio’s total revenue of $ 6.56 million Midsummer in 2019. Of course, the audience ratings (54% fresh on RT) for the art house image contrast directly with the critical ratings (89% on RT), so it will be interesting to see how the fantasy epic makes up in the suggests coming weeks.
