Monster Hunter scores a win at the box office

Monster Hunter took the top spot at the box office in its opening weekend, even with less than 2,000 screens.

First place went to Monster Hunter $2.2M off of just 1,736 screens. Normally we don’t report on films with less than 2,000 screens, but no film was at that number this week. Globally it sits at $11.01M.

The Croods: A New Age came in second with $2M for a new domestic total of $27.02M and globally it sits at $84.52M.

Third place went to Fatale with $925K.

Elf, yes, the Will Ferrel comedy, took fourth place with $365K.

Fifth place went to Half Brothers with $260K for a new domestic total of $1.79M.

For the first time in a while, more than one film broke $1M for the weekend. We expect Wonder Woman 1984 to do the same next weekend, but its exact total is anyone’s guess still.
