'The Film titled "The Monkey" is Gathering Impressive Weekend Cinema Debut Numbers'
In the cinematic world this week, "Captain America: Brave New World" is looking to keep its reign at the top of the box office, reportedly earning an estimated $28.1 million in its second weekend. However, fresh horror comedy "The Monkey," directed by Osgood Perkins, is making a buzz with its debut.
According to Deadline, Disney Marvel's "Captain America: Brave New World" is expected to hold onto the number one position, despite a 68% drop in business from its initial weekend. Should the estimate hold, the film's domestic tally will swell to an impressive $141.7 million[1][3].
Meanwhile, indie studio Neon's "The Monkey" is projected to earn a substantial $13.5 million to $14 million from 3,200 North American theaters. Per Deadline, this will be Neon's second-largest opening, surpassed only by Perkins' previous success with "Longlegs"[1][3].
As for other films, Sony Pictures Entertainment's family movie "Paddington in Peru" is projected to take in $6.5 million from 3,890 North American theaters, securing a third-place finish on the domestic box office[1][3].
Universal Pictures/DreamWorks' "Dog Man," which was released for digital streaming last Tuesday, is predicted to earn $5.7 million in ticket sales from 3,179 locations, securing the fourth spot at the domestic box office[1][3].
Finally, Sony's "Heart Eyes" and Lionsgate's "The Unbreakable Boy" are projected to earn $3 million and $2.1 million to $2.4 million, respectively[1][3].
This box office report will be updated throughout the weekend with the most recent domestic and international numbers[1].
