Men In Black: International Opens To Disappointing Box Office Number
The latest box office report is in, and the weekend’s biggest new release, Men in Black: International, won the weekend but it was overall a commercial disappointment.
The spinoff starring Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson was never expected to perform as well as the earlier films. It made an estimated $28.5 million in the United States and Canada for its opening weekend, according to box office numbers from Entertainment Weekly.
That’s below the $52.1 million that the last movie, Men in Black II, made when it opened in 2002. The original Men in Black from 1997 made $51 million over its opening weekend. Those movies starred Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones in the lead roles.
Men in Black International was generally a miss with critics, and the CinemaScore rating of people who saw it in theatres was only a B. In GameSpot’s Men in Black International review, Chris Hayner wrote that the film is “mediocre and unimaginative.”
