Mercy North America Box Office: Chris Pratt’s Film Opens At #1, Despite Landing Below Projections

Chris Pratt starrer Mercy has landed below the projected range at the domestic box office on its opening weekend. Despite the slow start, the film has landed at the top spot, dethroning Avatar: Fire and Ash after its five-week reign at #1. Keep scrolling for the deets.

It has been distributed by Amazon MGM Studios in the US, meaning it will head to Amazon Prime Video, and its main target is the online audience. This sci-fi thriller also has a moderate budget and will not be a big box-office loser if things do not turn out as expected. Given the critics’ ratings, it will be tough for it to survive at the box office.

Mercy’s opening weekend collection at the box office in North America

According to Box Office Mojo‘s report, Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson starrer Mercy opened with $11.1 million collection only at the domestic box office. It was projected to earn between $12 million and $15 million at the box office in North America. But it failed to land within the projected range, despite that it landed at #1 in the domestic box office rankings, dethroning Avatar: Fire and Ash after it ruled for five consecutive weekends.
