A New Age Wins the Weekend Box Office Yet Again with $1.7M



Though it came out months ago, The Croods: A New Age is number one at the box office again this weekend after taking in $1.7 million. Universal/DreamWorks Animation’s family movie has been number one at the box office 5 times in its 13 weeks in theaters, including last weekend, where it returned to the number one spot for the first time in 8 weeks. Domestically, it has crossed the $50 million mark, which means that it could very well become the highest grossing movie of the pandemic if it keeps putting up decent numbers. Christopher Nolan’s Tenet is currently the pandemic leader at $57.9 million.

As far as returning to movie theaters, it appears that moviegoers are more confident about getting back later this year. According to a new poll by NRG, 50% of people say that they are willing to head back into a theater, which is a record high since the pandemic started. According to exhibition reports, only 47% of movie theaters in North America are currently open, though that is expected to change in the coming months. Analysts predict that things could be back to some form of normalcy by the end of the year.
