Eternals Still Soaring on Top at the Theater Box Office

Are we too critical of the MCU? Have we forgotten how great these experiences are compared to what we got in the past?

For the second weekend in a row, Marvel’s Eternals fended off its strongest competition from Paramount Pictures’ Clifford the Big Red Dog.

The comic book movie earned $27.5 million, a modest drop of 61.4 percent from the previous weekend. It grossed over $118 million at the domestic box office and reached $281 million worldwide.

With a strong desire for family films, Clifford the Big Red Dog came in surprisingly in second place at $16.42 million for the weekend after its midweek opening with a total gross of $22 million. It is a strong showing since the film is also streaming on Paramount+.

For the rest of the top five, Dune fell to third place with $5.5 million, a decrease of 29.4 percent, with a total gross of $93 million in the domestic box office. The good news for this film is that the sequel is greenlit due to its international box office that generated over $258 million overseas.

James Bond’s No Time to Die fell in one place to earn $2.6 million, a drop of 23.5 percent, with a total domestic haul of $150 million. The more impressive numbers for the last Daniel Craig’s appearance as James Bond is with its worldwide take of over $708 million worldwide. Yes, James Bond will certainly be back.

In fifth place, Sony’s Venom: Let There Be Carnage earned $4 million, a decrease of 10.4 percent from the previous weekend. It generated over $202 million in the domestic box office and over $441 million worldwide.

The only other notable theatrical opening for the weekend is Kenneth Branagh’s Belfast in eighth place at $1.8 million. Focus Features limited the number of screens to 580 but impressively took in $3,103 on average per screen.

For the next weekend, it should be getting a theatrical boost with the new Ghostbusters: Afterlife for nostalgic fans. For those into the dramas, King Richard with Will Smith and C’mon C’mon with Joaquin Phoenix will be in select theaters.
