Despite some negative press surrounding Marvel’s Eternals, the superhero epic still managed to leap to the second-best worldwide opening in the pandemic era with $161.7 million, per Deadline.
To date, the sci-fi epic has earned $83.9 million domestically and $307 million worldwide.
Of note, Shang-Chi and Black Widow amassed $418 million and $376 million worldwide, which is probably what we can expect Eternals to collect during its theatrical run.
Elsewhere, Dune, which lost a hefty dose of its IMAX screens to Eternals, landed at No. 2 in its third weekend with $7.6 million.
