Weekend Box-Office: FREE GUY Holds Top Spot Against Four New Wide Releases

weekend-box-office-free-guy-holds-top-spot

The animated family adventure film "PAW Patrol: The Movie", the action flick "The Protege", the horror film "The Night House", and the sci-fi thriller "Reminiscence" were all released over the weekend, but "Free Guy" is still the #1 movie. The competition wasn't as fierce as it looked, however. Out of the four movies, only "Paw Patrol" managed to score decent numbers.

Read more about the weekend box-office after the jump.






"Free Guy" managed to hold the top spot over the weekend with $18.8 million in its second week. The film only dropped 33%, which is the best second-weekend hold for any wide release this summer, so far, and the best second weekend hold of Ryan Reynolds' career. The film has grossed a total of $58.8 million domestically and $53.1 million overseas.

The G-rated animated film "PAW Patrol: The Movie" opened in second place with $13 million from 3,184 theaters, which is pretty solid, especially considering that the film is also available via streaming on Paramount+. It also raked in another $21.5 million from overseas markets. The film only cost $26 million to produce.

In third place we find "Jungle Cruise", holding over from last week. The film dropped only 32%, grossing $6.2 million in its fourth weekend. The domestic total has reached $92.5 million, while overseas it has grossed a total of $81.2 million.

The horror sequel "Don't Breathe 2" landed in fourth place with $5 million after a steep 52% drop. The film has grossed a total of $19.6 million in North America, and another $7.5 million from international markets. The film's worldwide total of $27.2 million isn't so bad, considering its $15 million budget.

Not so impressive is MGM's Aretha Franklin biopic "Respect", which dropped 57% in its second weekend, rounding out the Top 5 with only $3.8 million. The film has raked in $15.1 million domestically and around $0.5 million overseas, which is pretty bad since the film cost $55 million to produce.

Next up we have three new wide releases that failed to find an audience. The first is Lionsgate's action thriller "The Protege" in seventh place with $2.9 million, followed by the horror film "The Night House" in eighth with $2.8 million, and the sci-fi thriller "Reminiscence" at #9 with $2 million. That last one is pretty painful since the neo-noir science fiction film starring Hugh Jackman cost around $68 million to produce.
