‘Smile 2’ Leads Box Office With $23 Million Debut, A24’s ‘We Live in Time’ Cracks Top Five
"Smile 2" topped the domestic box office in its opening weekend.
“ Smile 2 ” has carved out a decent $23 million in its opening weekend, easily topping the otherwise sleepy North American box office charts. The film, starring Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh as a young couple in unenviable circumstances, has grossed $4.5 million to date after playing for one weekend in limited release. It also scored the second-highest screen average of the post-pandemic era, behind Wes Anderson’s “Asteroid City,” and among the top five of the last half-decade alongside “Parasite,” “Uncut Gems” and “The Favourite.” The film, a comic look at an exotic dancer and sex worker who marries the son of a Russian oligarch, will continue to expand its footprint through the fall.
