Box Office: M. Night Shyamalan’s ‘Old’ Creeping to No. 1 With Estimated $15 Million

There’s a lot of uncertainty (again) as we enter the end of the summer movie season in theaters. With COVID cases rising and renewed mask mandates in some locations, some were worried this might lead to people taking a break from going out to the cinemas to see the next big films.

The adventure film starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt also opened in 27 markets this weekend, grossing $27.6 million to bring its global box office opening to $61.8 million. When Disney+ numbers are included, the total rises to just over $92 million.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media ReporterIn a twist fitting for an M. Night Shyamalan thriller, “Old” is the No.

The bad news is that a mix of tepid reception and the spread of the COVID-19 Delta variant has made "Old" the lowest opening in Shyamalan's career, falling beneath the $18 million earned by "Lady in the Water" in 2006. The film received a C+ on CinemaScore and a 52% Rotten Tomatoes score, though even with the weak reception the $18 million film is likely to turn a profit.

Making the movie Old was a family affair for director M. Night Shyamalan, who hired his daughter Ishana to serve as the second unit director.

Marvel Studios is doomed! Movie theaters are going to disappear! The sky is falling! Okay, that’s just hyperbole. But if you look at the last week of box office news, starting with the surprising financial decline of “Black Widow” and the incredibly harsh words from the National Association of Theater Owners (NATO), there is some concern that maybe folks aren’t flocking back to cinemas as fast as we hoped.

Marvel‘s “Black Widow” had a pandemic-record opening making $80.3 million last weekend. However, in its second frame, the top spot has been usurped by LeBron James‘ “Space Jam: A New Legacy,” as the sequel has earned $31.6 million, which is still slightly less than WarnerMedia was hoping for, but the studio is also offering a home viewing option to HBO Max subscribers.

Black Widow is making history with its box office earnings and the film has now clinched a massive opening weekend collection of USD 80 million in the US as reported by Variety. It's the highest debut ever since the pandemic.

This weekend saw Disney test out a hybrid release with one of their top-tier releases, as “Black Widow” starring Scarlett Johansson hit both theaters and Premier Access on Disney+ this weekend.
