Talking about the box office, the summer saga has been experiencing major ups and downs. The past week was extremely monotonous, and this week was no different, but “The Fall Guy” managed to save the box office with its mediocre opening.
Now, obviously with no massive releases and zero to minimal major competition, “The Fall Guy” was the only film that made the box office worth the numbers. The Barbenheimer duo, Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling, managed to advertise solidly, and this is being reflected in the numbers as well.
“The Fall Guy” attained numbers such as $28.5 million, which is definitely a strong break in the box office, especially with a budget around $100 million. The film will surely earn profits. Plus, the film will gain some global exposure in the near future, so the stats won’t fall as much as one might expect.
Additionally, Star Wars once again proves why it has the best franchise. On May 4th, they re-released “The Phantom Menace,” which grossed $8.1 million, a solid number for any re-release, placing it at the second position.
Then it was followed by the tennis drama and romance “Challengers,” which opened in the first place last week but had a major fall, grossing $7.6 million this week. “Tarot” also had a mediocre opening of $6.5 million, but for such a small budget film, it was a praiseworthy number.
“Godzilla vs. Kong” is still up there, fighting and thriving, with numbers such as $4.5 million. The film is definitely taking its time to slow down. Though there is no chance that it can defeat the top two films of the Monsterverse, it remains happily in the top three.
“Captain America: Civil War” also continues its fight with strong numbers, grossing $3.6 million, and is followed by “Unsung Hero,” another small budget film that also grossed $3 million, which is definitely a strong number.
“Kung Fu Panda 4” is also still in the top 10, with numbers such as $2.4 million, followed by “Abigail” with $2.3 million and “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” with numbers such as $1.8 million.
