'Kraven the Hunter' Falls Prey to Competition in Disappointing Domestic Box Office Debut

After three weeks of sky-high drama, the domestic box office is looking at a considerable deflation this weekend, with Sony’s Kraven the Hunter tanking in its debut. The latest installment in the studio’s Marvel shared universe of"supervillain" films is shaping up to be the final nail in the coffin, as it heads towards a disappointingly low haul.

&#x2715 Remove Ads Because of its under-performance, the number one spot was claimed, for the third time in a row, by Disney’s Moana 2. The animated sequel made $6 million on Friday, pushing its running domestic haul past the $315 million mark. Moana 2 is eying around $25 million for the weekend, which should take its total to over $335 million. The film broke Thanksgiving records in its debut, but its mixed reception appears to be coming into play as it settles into the holiday period.

The top five was rounded out by another underwhelming fantasy flick, Warner Bros.’ anime feature The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim. Conceived as a placeholder for the studio to hold on to the property’s rights, the film tanked with just $2 million on opening day. This includes the $625,000 that it made in Thursday previews.
