Will “Nobody 2” grab a blow at the box office? Universal continuation of the hits from the Pandemie era “Nobody” with Bob Odenkirk as an apparently mild father, who actually steps into the ass and takes names, aims to do $ 10 to $ 12 million from $ 3,200 North American theaters.
This is slightly ahead of the original film in 2021, which debut at 6.8 million US dollars at a time when the cinemas across the country just turn on to Covid. Despite this limped film landscape, “Nobody” succeeded in supplying 27 million US dollars in Germany and 57 million US dollars worldwide. Then the first film on Premium video-on-demand platforms for Universal to Greenlight was a sequel enough enough to return with revenge in Odenkirk. In the follow-up, his character Hutch Mansell brings his family on vacation to the small tourist city of Plummerville and is located in the crosshairs of several shady locals. “Nobody 2” was with a price of 25 million US dollars, just above the $ 16 million in the $ 16 million.
“Nobody 2” does not have the strength to break off “weapons”, which is on the way to the sleeper status after surpassing the box office with 43.5 million US dollars last weekend. The R-Rating thriller from Zach Cregger will repeat the number 1 with estimates of $ 20 to 22 million in the second outing, a better support than the average horror film. This is because “weapons” benefit from great reviews and solid word of mouth. So far, the film has generated 71 million US dollars worldwide against a production budget of 38 million US dollars. It is the latest in a number of commercial winners for Warner Bros. after “a Minecraft film”, “Siners”, “Final Destination Bloodlines” and “Superman”, “Minecraft Movie”.
The second place against “Nobody 2” is Disney's “Freakier Friday” with forecasts of 10 to 12 million US dollars on the second weekend. The PG film, which reunited Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis as mother and daughter, has earned 28.5 million US dollars in North America and $ 43 million worldwide after three days.
The other newcomer of this weekend, Spike Lee's Criminal thriller “Higest 2 Niest” will open around 300 screens in limited publication. The modern remake of Akira Kurosawa's Japanese film “High and Low” from 1963 from 1963 follows a mighty music mogul that aims from a ransom act. Denzel Washington plays in the A24 film, his first collaboration with Lee since 2006, in addition to the occupation of assindic Rocky, Jeffrey Wright and Ice Spice. The ratings were positive with Variety The Cheffilm critic Peter Debruge praised Lee for “a soul -seeking genre film who maintains and at the same time sounds the alarm about where the culture could be led”.
At that time, the total fund of 7.5% is compared to the previous year, but according to ComScore 23% behind 2019, the last pre-pandemy year. With the summer income of 3.2 billion US dollars by mid -August, the hopes of the cinema industry to achieve the difficult -to -grapple of 4 billion US dollars could be more difficult than many cash observers that predicted at the beginning of the popcorn season. On the other hand, Hollywood loves a twist end.
