Mulan continues to fall short of expectations at the box office. In China, it grossed $6.5 million, marking a 72% drop from last weekend
That benchmark is bolstered by international revenues, where the sci-fi thriller has surpassed $200 million in ticket sales. But in the U.S., “Tenet” is still struggling to attract audiences. The movie earned $4.7 million in its third weekend, bringing North American grosses to an underwhelming $36.1 million.
It’s not just “Tenet” having trouble generating traction among ticket buyers. Given the challenged marketplace, every movie is facing headwinds at the box office. Though 70% of cinemas in the U.S. have reopened, venues in New York and Los Angeles — two areas that account for a bulk of the country’s ticket sales — are still closed. Multiplexes that have reopened are operating at reduced capacity due to the pandemic.
Among holdovers at the domestic box office, Disney’s “The New Mutants” earned $1.6 million in its fourth weekend for a North American haul $17.7 million. The “X-Men” sequel also brought in $2 million from 38 international markets, boosting its overseas grosses to $17.3 million. Globally, “The New Mutants” has made $35 million.
A few movies opened at the indie box office, including Bleecker Street’s World War II drama “The Secrets We Keep” starring Joel Kinnaman and Noomi Rapace. The film, which elicited mixed reviews, amassed $89,955 from 471 theaters in the U.S., averaging $191 per location.
