Did Thunderbolts* manage to resist the top of the US box office?

Disaster for Omar Sy with Shadow Force. Minecraft passes 900 million worldwide.

It is not quite a phenomenon. Thunderbolts* will not reach the billion dollars. But it’s been a good time that a pure MCU product had failed to generate such enthusiasm.

After a solid start last weekend, the latest of Marvel Studios fell 55 % for its second weekend, with an estimate of Additional $ 34 million across the Atlanticto approach the $ 130 million in revenue at US box office And easily pass the $ 270 million in the world.

This withdrawal, moderate for a MCU blockbuster, in fact the 8th best hold in the second week Of the 36 films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film, carried by Florence Pugh,, Wyatt Russell And Sebastian Stan, very appreciated by criticism, thus resists much better than Captain America 4which displayed -68% of revenue in the second week, last February.

Thunderbolts* is rather in the waters of Shang-chi and the legend of the ten rings who had collected 34.7 million in the second week during his post-Labor Day weekend in 2021, a fall of 54 %.

During this time, Warner Bros continue to hit the front with Sinnerswhich adds another 22 million for its fourth weekend in the USA and is now totaling almost 300 million worldwide. An impressive score for a horror film: it’s better than the fourth weekends of Sixth sense ($ 20 million) or That ($ 16.9 million). However, he is behind The Blair Witch project ($ 24.3 million), although this comparison is a bit biased, the cult film having experienced a outing in several stages. Even more surprising: Sinners is getting closer to the fourth weekend of the blockbuster Minecraft, the film ($ 22.7 million).

Besides, Jack Black continues to undermine the American box office. Even if the attendance runs out of steam, Minecraft, the film still ranks third this weekend for his 6th week in theaters across the Atlantic and now combines more $ 400 million on American soil and climbs in the classification of 50 bigger success in history in North America. In the world, the milestone of $ 900 million in total revenue was crossed.

Among the new features, the good surprise comes from the horror film The night of the clowns (Clown in a Cornfield) of Eli Craigadaptation of the novel ofAdam Cesarewhich begins with $ 4 million in 2,277 cinemas. A correct start for a gender film on a low budget. The film will be released in France on August 20, 2025.

On the other hand, it is the disaster total for Shadow Forcethe Lionsgate action film with Omar Sy And Kerry Washington. Budgeted at 40 million dollars, the feature film only harvested 2 small million in 2,170 rooms. Bad criticisms, nonexistent word of mouth, public rejection: everything seems to be going on for the film of US baston signed Joe Carnahanwhich does not yet have a French release date.
