Superman dominates North American box office with $122M debut
LOS ANGELES: The latest Superman film has claimed the top spot at the North American box office, earning an impressive $122 million in its opening weekend. Directed by James Gunn, the Warner Bros and DC Studios production introduces David Corenswet as the new Man of Steel, alongside Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. Analyst David A. Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research noted, 'This is an outstanding domestic opening for the 7th episode in a superhero story that's been filmed for over 75 years.' He added, 'Mr Gunn chose not to rely on big stars. The storytelling and filmmaking are doing the work here.' In second place, Jurassic World: Rebirth collected $40 million in its second week. The Universal Pictures sequel, starring Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali, revisits the abandoned island from the original Jurassic Park. Brad Pitt's F1: The Movie secured third place with $13 million, while Universal and DreamWorks' live-action How to Train Your Dragon reboot landed in fourth with $7.8 million. Disney/Pixar's Elio rounded out the top five with $3.9 million. Other notable performers included 28 Years Later ($2.73 million), Lilo & Stitch ($2.7 million), and Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning ($1.5 million). Gross observed, 'It's summertime and the big pictures are loud and visually dazzling: 'Superman,' 'Jurassic,' 'F1,' and 'How to Train Your Dragon'. Audiences want to be transported and taken away, and they're getting what they want.' - AFP

‘Jurassic World: Rebirth' roars to top of North American box office
[LOS ANGELES] Jurassic World: Rebirth - the latest instalment in the blockbuster dinosaur saga - stomped the July 4th weekend competition at the North American box office, raking in a whopping US$91.5 million in its debut, industry estimates showed on Sunday. The Universal film, starring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali, takes viewers to an abandoned island research facility for the original Jurassic Park theme park, where secrets - and genetically mutated dinosaurs - are lurking. 'This is an excellent opening for the 7th episode of an action-adventure monster series,' said analyst David A. Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research. 'The series has been especially good overseas and so far foreign business is outstanding. Dinosaur action is understood in all languages and across all cultures.' F1: The Movie, the Apple and Warner Bros. flick starring Brad Pitt as a washed-up Formula One driver who gets one last shot at redemption, slipped to second place at US$26.1 million, Exhibitor Relations said. How to Train Your Dragon, Universal and DreamWorks Animation's live-action reboot of the popular 2010 film, held in third place at US$11 million.
