Spiral takes the top spot at the box office

The box office is slowly recovering, and this weekend really stressed just how slow it may be.

Spiral took the spot at the box office with $8.72M. While that may sound good, as Exhibitor Relations puts it, “To give you an idea of how poorly SAW: SPIRAL ($8.7M) opened this weekend, let’s remember that deep in the heart of the pandemic last August, with maybe 30% of theaters open vs. 65% today, THE NEW MUTANTS debuted with $7M.” In other words, this was a very weak opening and one that rightfully may cause some concern.

Second place went to Guy Richie’s The Wrath of Man with $3.74M. It stands at $14.6M domestically and $41.84M globally.

Those Who Wish Me Dead took third palce with $2.8M.

Fourth place went to Demon Slayer The Movie with $1.85M for a new domestic total of $42.02M. Combined with its international haul, the film sits at a global total of $477.02M.

Raya and the Last Dragon rounded out the top five with $1.71M this weekend. It now stands at $46.12M domestic and $107.03M globally.

The next wide releases Cruella and A Quiet Place II on May 28.
