As expected Tenet was a major draw at the US box office for the holiday weekend, posting the best numbers of any film since the pandemic began. Still, it's obviously a far cry from what it would have made in a normal year when theaters didn't have to limit seating and there were far more of them open globally.
US Estimates Holiday Weekend (Sept 4th-7th)
01 Tenet $20.2 (Global cumulative gross $146.2)
02 The New Mutants $3.6 (Global cum. $19.9)
03 Unhinged $2.2 (Global cum. $23.6)
04 Bill & Ted Face the Music $809k (Global cum. $2.4)
05 Spongebob: Sponge on the Move $470k (US only cum. $3.4)
06 Personal History of David Copperfield $430k (Global cum. $11.0)
NYC still isn't playing movies (the nearest theater playing Tenet, for example, is an hour and a half away by train) so the big new movie for us this week was I'm Thinking of Ending Things on Netflix (more on which later if we can figure out what to say about it!). What did you see this week?
