'Jackass Forever' cast a major shadow over 'Moonfall' with a $20.7 million debut.
Jackass Forever hurled all competition, including Roland Emmerich’s Moonfall, into the air in a Porta Potty this weekend, debuting with an estimated $20.7 million across three days. The slapstick comedy film, which gives the genre a rather literal twist, made almost twice as much as the disaster drama Moonfall, which is estimated to make between $10 million and $12 million.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY As it did with A Quiet Place Part II and January’s Scream reboot, the studio held on to an exclusive theatrical debut for Jackass Forever, despite the temptation of releasing the film on its own fledgling streaming service. And just like the second Quiet Place and the new Scream, the gamble appears to have paid off, because Jackass Forever cost a mere $10 million to produce.
Speaking of which, Moonfall can at least claim to have outperformed Spider-Man: No Way Home. It’s another matter altogether that the Sony/Marvel superhero film is in its eighth week of release, and has finished at the top of the box office on six weekends. It slipped to the number three spot this time around, with an estimated $8.8 million across three days.
Universal’s Sing 2 is estimated to make another $4 million this weekend, rounding out the top five. The animated sequel’s running domestic total is nearly $140 million, which is remarkable for a film that has been available to rent on digital for weeks. It is also the highest-grossing animated film since 2019’s Frozen II.
