'Challengers' scored more than $15 million at the box office, according to ComScore. But overall box office sales are still down from a year ago.
Zendaya's tennis drama 'Challengers' scored the top spot in the domestic box office this weekend, bringing in $15 million, as movie theaters are still struggling to match last year's ticket sales. 'Challengers' outgrossed its closest competitor, faith-based drama 'Unsung Hero,' which generated $7.75 million, according to Comscore estimates. 'Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire,' in its fifth weekend, brought in $7.2 million.
'So far in 2024, we’ve had 13 big series films. Before the pandemic, we averaged more than 18 during the same period.' Last summer's Hollywood strikes changed the lineup for movies coming to theaters, pushing back titles including “Avengers: Secret Wars,' and 'Kraven the Hunter' from their scheduled release dates. Box office sales are down 21% compared to the same period a year ago, according to Comscore.
