Box-Office Weekend: The Croods Claim Top Spot

As movie theaters across the country creep towards opening en masse, The Croods: A New Age climbed into the top spot of the box-office weekend during a predictably uneventful President’s Day at the box office.

In its twelfth week of release, the film brought in $2.04 million, narrowly topping newcomer, Judas and the Black Messiah. That film finished with $2.00 million in its first week of release and will probably do better as word of mouth gets around about how good it is. Third place went to the crime drama The Little Things, which took in $1.88 million, giving the Rami Malek/Denzel Washington vehicle a three-week total of $9.68 million. Meanwhile, Gal Gadot and Wonder Woman 1984 stood fast in fourth place as the film added $1.30 million to its eight-week tally of $41.80 million.

Finishing just behind Wonder Woman 1984, was The Marksman, which fell from a third place finish last week to fifth with $1.10 million over the weekend. Newcomer Land finished in sixth place bringing in $940,000 in its first weekend of release. Monster Hunter continued a decent run despite falling one spot and finishing in sixth with $650,000 over the weekend, giving the film a nine-week total of $12.69 million. The Tom Hanks vehicle News of the World dropped to the eighth spot after finishing in sixth last week as it added $385,000 to its eight-week total of $11.35 million. Dropping two spots to ninth was the excellent Promising Young Woman, which added $182,000 in its eighth week of release to give in a cumulative total of $4.92 million. Finally, finishing in the final spot of this week’s box-office weekend, was the comedy The War with Grandpa, which added $180,287 to its account to give it a nineteen-week total of $20.02 million.

Next weekend will continue to see no new major releases, but notable films in limited release include Nomadland starring Frances McDormand and I Care A Lot with Rosamund Pike. Until the theaters open in earnest across the country, please stay safe and keep checking back here for any changes in the box-office weekend.
