Our elected officials failed us a lot in 2020, but one of the most tangible ways we failed was to intentionally ignore the realities of the threat posed by COVID-19, which will lead to what will soon be a full year. of restrictions and blockages. Still, it’s hard to understand how much time has passed, so here’s a clearer illustration of the extent of the coronavirus nightmare: as of this weekend, the U.S. box office has already achieved two Liam Neeson’s thrillers since the pandemic began. Dos! And no Marvel movies! The first was Honest thief in October, and now we have the Clint Eastwood-esque The shooter—That stars Liam Neeson as a certified true American who lives on a ranch near the Mexican border and points his rifle at immigrants who believe in his property. He won the box office last weekend, earning a pretty impressive $ 3.2 million. (It was also, for the record, the third Liam Neeson’s film The Pandemic If Comedy Counts Made in Italy. Fourth if you count Ordinary love from February. The man it works.)
That was enough to dethrone Wonder Woman 1984, which still earned $ 2.6 million (for a respectable total of $ 35.8, which is a huge bring to the box office during this pandemic). Unfortunately for Diana Of Themyscira, however, any hope of exceeding the total The Croods: A New Age are looking to escape: he earned just over $ 2 million this past weekend, which is no less WW84, and put it just under $ 40 million. It will need to go down quickly during Wonder Woman 1984 catching up, it’s not that this or any of that really matters.
The next places on the list, like last week, remain unchanged: World news earned $ 1 million, Monster Hunter earned $ 920,000, Fatal earned $ 530,000 (big decline between the two) and Promising young woman he earned only $ 430,000. The mandatory reissue of Disney for the week (The new furrow of the emperor this time) he earned only $ 169,000, and all of that afterwards is quite painful. But, as we keep saying, it’s probably not safe to go to a movie theater anyway, so … yes.
