--Raya and the Last Dragon easily remained at #1 in its' second frame, dropping 35% to $5.5 million in its sophomore frame. In 10 days, Disney Animation's latest has earned $15.8 million stateside and $53 million worldwide. While not an amazing hold, it's still relatively solid especially in comparison to other films during the pandemic. And, with Los Angeles cinemas returning to business next weekend after nearly a year off, it should have an even better hold (or maybe a slight uptick?) next week.
--Tom and Jerry was off 38% in its third weekend to $4.1 million, for a solid $28.2 million pick-up in 17 days. Warner Bros.' release should also see stronger holding power starting next week, as it hopes to get to the $45 million range like Wonder Woman 1984 did. I think it still stands a great chance of doing so and even getting up to the range of The Croods: A New Age thanks to no competition for families the next couple of months. It's also at $67 million worldwide so far.
--Chaos Walking fell 40% in its second weekend to $2.3 million, for a $6.9 million 10-day total. That's an above-average sophomore weekend hold for a pandemic release (others have dropped more than 50% in recent memory). However, although it might be set to get close to $15 million stateside, that's not going to be enough to cover for its $100 million budget.
--Boogie was off 39% to $730,000 in its second weekend, for a $2.3 million 10-day pick-up.
--The Croods: A New Age spent a 16th-straight week in the Top 5 (even with PVOD and Blu-ray availability), off 34% to $520,000, for a $54.3 million pick-up so far. It's going to be a close call to see if it can beat TENET stateside.
Elsewhere in the Top 10...
--International import Jathi Ratnalu earned $470,000 in sixth place ($3,615 per-venue average was the best in the Top 10).
--The Marksman was off a light 7% to $465,000 for a $13.6 million pick-up in nine weeks.
--The Little Things was down 27% to $400,000, for a $14.2 million pick-up in seven weeks.
--Wonder Woman 1984 was down 22% to $400,000, for a $45 million pick-up in 12 weeks.
--Possible major Oscar contender The Father opened in 10th place with $390,000 from 900 locations ($433 per-venue average).
Elsewhere, a China re-release of Avatar leapfrogged it ahead of Avengers: Endgame to reclaim the title of the highest-grossing movie of all-time with $2.802 billion (though I should point out, not including re-releases or re-expansions, it would still be #1 anyway).
