$CMCSA $DIS $T

M. Night Shyamalan marked another #1 win at the domestic box office, where his thriller *Old* is pasted the other new offering *Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins* to win a quiet weekend.

*Old* took in $16.5-M from 3,555 locations. The psychological, immersive thriller, starring Gael García Bernal and Vicky Krieps, was inspired by the graphic novel *Sandcastle*.

*Old* debuted to $6.5-M internationally from 23 markets for a worldwide start of $23-M

Paramount and Hasbro’s *Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins* came in 2nd with an estimated $13.4-M from 3,521 locations. Overseas, it debuted to $4-M from 37 markets for a global launch of $17.8-M.

Box office analysts are hopeful that next weekend’s Disney tentpole *Jungle Cruise*, starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt, will boost moviegoing, followed by Marvel and DC’s *Suicide Squad* sequel in early August.

*Black Widow* redeemed at the weekend beating *Space Jam 2* with $11.6-M and becoming the fastest film of the VirusCasedemic era to cross $150-M in North America. The superhero film finished Sunday with a domestic tally of $154.8-M and $314.9-M globally.

*Space Jam 2*, from Warner Bros., dropped 69% to $9.7-M for a 10-day domestic total of $51.4-M. The pic earned $12.6-M overseas from 66 markets for a foreign tally of $42.6-M and $94-M globally.

At the specialty box office

*Joe Bell*, starring Mark Wahlberg, debuted to $707,185 theaters, the worst wide launch of Wahlberg’s career. Roadside Attractions is distributing the film domestically.

A bright spot

In a 2nd win of the weekend for Universal, *F9* has become the first Hollywood event pic in the VirusCasedemic era to pass the $600-M mark at the worldwide box office. The tentpole received an exclusive theatrical release, and was among the few Hollywood event films of late to get a release in China before the traditional Summer blackout barring Western films kicked in.

Have some fun this week, see a movie in a theater, the chaos is about over!
