WORLD WAR 3 MOVIE MOVIE
World War Z reportedly grossed $347,000 over the weekend - $448,000 when we include Memorial Day - beating such recent releases as Mortal Kombat and Nobody.Īttendance-wise, the figures for World War Z are not as easy to analyze since the movie was part of a double-feature with A Quiet Place Part II at eighty drive-in locations across the country. That’s right, the 2013 zombie-apocalypse action movie starring Brad Pitt, which never topped the charts in its original run and only spent five weekends in the top ten. Case in point: rounding out the top ten highest-grossing movies of the holiday weekend is World War Z (the Vietnamese comedy Bo Gia ranked tenth for the three-day weekend). Not everything is totally back to normal, however, as the world of box office continues to be a strange one as the COVID-19 pandemic wanes in concern due to widespread vaccination. I won’t bother pointing out the difference in fourth-day figures, though, because of the holiday.

And after dropping far below the original’s second-day gross, A Quiet Place Part II also had a better first Sunday with 1.4 million tickets sold versus the original’s 1.3 million. The sequel sold an estimated 2.11 million on Friday versus A Quiet Place selling an estimated 2.07 million on its first Friday. Over four days, A Quiet Place brought in about 6 million people versus A Quiet Place Part II‘s 6.2 million people over its initial four days - again, that’s with the first Monday being a holiday for the latter film’s release.Ī Quiet Place Part II also had a better opening day box office gross ($19.4 million) than the first movie ($18.9 million), and that is even true when we look at ticket sales. This is based on The Numbers claiming the current average ticket price is still $9.16, the same as it’s been for the past couple of years. With the average ticket price being $9.11 for the year 2018, that means about 5.5 million tickets were sold over the first three days of A Quiet Place‘s run compared to about 5.2 million ticket buyers for A Quiet Place Part II, from Friday through Sunday. And while it’s not necessarily comparable given the lack of a holiday, the movie grossed just $54.4 million in its first four days. Over its first three days in early April 2018, the original did $50.2 million. But the best evidence that A Quiet Place Part II is the movie to signal a real return of moviegoing is that the sequel grossed nearly the same amount as the first A Quiet Place did in its opening three years ago. The follow-up to Krasinski’s own 2018 original, A Quiet Place, easily had the best domestic opening of the year so far, and it is already the second-highest-grossing movie of 2021 - Godzilla vs. Moviegoing has returned! Following last week’s disappointing debut from Spiral, the latest and lowest-grossing entry of the Saw franchise (which is already hitting VOD this week), another horror sequel has made it known that Americans are, at last, ready to see movies on the big screen again in droves: John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place Part II opened with a reported $47.5 million over its first three days, with another estimated $10.1 million being added on Memorial Day for a holiday weekend total of about $57.1 million. Sixty-three weeks later, I’m finally back to bring you a new box office report.
