Box Office Report for the Week of July 11th

There is a brand new Marvel Cinematic Universe film playing in theatres across the globe and on Disney+ right now, and it is absolutely shattering records since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic back in early 2020.

Cate Shortland‘s Black Widow has managed to rake in a whopping weekend total of $215 million globally, the profits coming from both box offices from around the world as well as from the film’s release on Disney+’s Premium Access program. This makes it the largest domestic box office opening since the COVID-19 pandemic began and the largest domestic opening weekend since Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker in December 2019.

Also continuing to rake in the cash is Justin Lin‘s F9. Some people may have thought that a ninth movie would signal the end of the series. After all, how many times do audiences want to see car races? But it turns out quite a lot of them do, as the film has made $10.8 million at the box office this weekend.

Here’s the full list of the top ten films of the week:

1. Black Widow – $80M – 4,160 theatres
2. F9 – $10.88M (-53%) – 3,649 theatres
