Box Office: ‘Godzilla x Kong’ Remains No. 1 as Dev Patel’s ‘Monkey Man’ Debuts to $10 Million
"Godzilla x Kong" topped the box office over newcomers "Monkey Man" and "The First Omen."
First-time director Dev Patel’s action thriller “Monkey Man” nabbed second place with $10.1 million from 3,029 venues, while Disney and 20th Century’s supernatural prequel “The First Omen” trailed at the No. “The First Omen” was produced for Hulu but pivoted to cinemas because horror has been a reliable theatrical draw, and it’s more financially rewarding for studios to put movies in theaters before they land on streaming. It cost $100 million to produce, and since theaters get to keep half of ticket sales, “Frozen Empire” may not have the staying power needed to justify the studio’s return to the business of busting ghosts.
