![]() ![]() Among opening weekend ticket buyers, 41% were parents and 47% were kids. ![]() That’s not a bad result for a movie aimed at young kids, especially considering children under the age of 12 are currently unable to get vaccinated, keeping some families at home. In a closer-than-expected second place, “PAW Patrol” earned $13 million from 3,184 North American theaters. Alternatively, “Free Guy,” which had the best second-weekend hold of any nationwide release this summer, is available exclusively in theaters. “PAW Patrol” landed simultaneously on Paramount Plus, while “Reminiscence” premiered concurrently on HBO Max. Many summer offerings, including Paramount’s “PAW Patrol” and Warner Bros.’ “Reminiscence,” were made available on streaming platforms on the same day as their theatrical debuts. So far, “Free Guy” has generated $58.8 million in North America and $111.9 million worldwide. Comparatively, multiple films that opened this summer, such as “The Suicide Squad,” Marvel’s “Black Widow” and “F9: The Fast Saga,” declined around 70% in their sophomore outings. The Disney and 20th Century film declined a mere 34% in its second weekend and added another $18.8 million between Friday and Sunday, marking an impressive hold with or without a pandemic. Neither “PAW Patrol” nor “Reminiscence,” two of the four new films to open this weekend, were able to best Ryan Reynolds’ action comedy “ Free Guy,” which remained victorious for the second weekend straight. Hurricane Henri, which is currently battering parts of the Northeast, is also keeping people at home. That’s the unpredictable reality of the movie theater business as the delta variant continues to depress ticket sales across the globe. Need proof that moviegoing is far from returning to normal? Look no further than this weekend’s domestic box office charts.Ĭase in point: “ PAW Patrol,” an animated movie based on the popular kids TV show, left Hugh Jackman’s sci-fi romance drama “ Reminiscence” in the dust in North America, with the heroic pups of Adventure City collecting six times more in its debut than a film toplined by one of the most charismatic actors in Hollywood. ![]()
