How much has it earned on its 7th weekend at the domestic box office?
The Universal sequel collected $1.2 million on its seventh three-day weekend at the North American box office. It experienced a harsh drop of 54.1% from last weekend, especially because of Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle‘s release and Toy Story’s re-release at the domestic theaters. However, it has hit the $79.4 million cume, despite losing 999 theaters in North America. It is expected to earn around $82 million in its domestic run.
Missed the $200 million worldwide milestone this weekend
According to trade analyst Luiz Fernando’s report, The Bad Guys 2 collected $4.9 million on its seventh weekend at the overseas box office, a 16.9% drop from last weekend. With that, the movie reached the $120.3 million cume over 68 markets overseas. Adding that to its domestic total, the worldwide collection has hit $199.7 million. Thus, it missed the $200 million mark by a whisker.
