Nobody and Godzilla vs. Kong Take Top Spots at the Box Office

Nobody, Universal’s action flick starring Bob Odenkirk as a husband who succumbs to his inner rage to exact his own brand of bloody justice, opened at No. 1 at the domestic box office with $6.7M from 2,460 theaters. As we say every week, keep in mind that even with LA theaters opened to the public, venues are still only operating at 25% capacity with expected expansion to 50% by Easter.

That news bodes well for Nobody‘s longevity, although it faces Godzilla vs. Kong and Mortal Kombat in the coming weeks. According to Deadline, guy flicks like Nobody, namely Unhinged and The Marksman, have been doing a 5x multiplier during the pandemic, which could put the action pic at around $30M by the end of its run. But, at this point with all the uncertainty around theater reopening, who knows what will happen?

In No. 2 was Raya and the Last Dragon with $3.5M (-32%), bringing its total to $28.4M after four weeks, while Tom & Jerry grossed another $2.5M for a $37.1M total after its fifth week.
