According to Deadline, Kenneth Branagh’s Death on the Nile claimed the box office crown this weekend with a $12.8 million debut, which bested the second weekend of last week’s champ Jackass Forever ($8.05 million/$37.4 million total) and the Jennifer Lopez/Owen Wilson drama Marry Me ($8 million).
Jackass Forever, meanwhile, projects to drop -65% in its second weekend, putting it on par with Jackass 3D, which dipped -58% in its sophomore frame.
Next week sees the release of the anticipated video game adaptation Uncharted, starring Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg, projected to score a $25 million+ 3-day opening.
Of course, the film also premiered simultaneously on Peacock, which obviously impacted its gross.
