Monkey Man
can still be considered a financial success thanks to a variety of factors.
Monkey Man is passing a major milestone at the global box office despite stumbling in the domestic arena. The new action movie was directed by star Dev Patel, who plays Kid, a young man who seeks revenge against the rich people responsible for the death of his family. The movie opened at No. 2 on its debut weekend, outranking the IP-driven horror title The First Omen, which was the other new release in theaters at the time.
Per Deadline, the Monkey Man release has hit a snag at the domestic box office during its second weekend, falling out of the Top 5 completely and landing at No. 6 with a 3-day total of $4.1 million despite playing in eight more theaters than the previous weekend. There was also a lack of major competition, as the only new release to rank higher on the chart was Alex Garland’s Civil War. However, per Collider, the movie has nevertheless passed a major global milestone, pushing past $20 million overall to hit a cumulative total of $22 million.
