Warner Bros. is going to spend 2021 releasing all his films simultaneously on HBO Max and in theaters, and while Wonder Woman 1984 wash technical the first film to come out under the system appeared in 2020 and therefore does not count. It makes John Lee Hancock’s boilerplate thriller The little things the real first movie to appear since Warner Bros. the film industry has turned its back (this is for our friend Chris), and this past weekend was the first of the studio’s new era. So how did The little things do at the brick-and-mortar box? Eh, good.
See, as we have always said since September or so, nothing is doing particularly well at the box office these days, unless it is the Croods continues and can hang on for a beautiful ten weeks, as it is the only new family-friendly film (or new, as it appeared 10 weeks ago) to play at most theaters reopened. The little things earned $ 4.8 million, which was enough to end up in first place this past weekend, even if it’s not that much money, but it’s going to be interesting to see if the film has any legs in a box office with other thrillers to compete with (Liam Neeson’s The artist still holds on, and history suggests that a new Liam Neeson thriller will appear every day now.
Anyway, the rest is all we’ve seen before: The Croods: A New Age added another $ 1.8 to the total, while just under $ 44 million Wonder Woman 1984 remained with $ 1.3 million ($ 39 million). Then there is the above Gun cutter ($ 1.2 million for a total of $ 7 million) and customization of video games Monster Hunter ($ 740,000 for a total of $ 11 million). The only other beginner this week was Supernova, ended up in 11th place with just $ 98,670. That $ 4 million doesn’t sound that bad now, does it?
