"Karate Boy: Legend" cut $21 million in the domestic box office, a good start, albeit slightly below expectations.

Entering the weekend, Sony's PG-13 action sequel aims to earn $25 million from 3,809 North American venues. Although "Legend" won positive responses from the audience (the film scored "A-" in the Cinemascore Export Poll, while the average rotten tomatoes for critics was 59%), attendance did not exceed the fans of "Karate Boy". The production budget of this film is relatively small.

"Karate Boy: Legend" is the first new drama of the franchise's 15th year, rebooted since 2010 with Jackie Chan. That movie opened to $55 million (not adjusted for inflation) and ended up making $359 million worldwide. Directed by Jonathan Entwistle, this new version unites Chan with Ralph Macchio, who learns the art of "wax, wax" in the original "Karate Boy" of 1984. The long-running martial arts series has gained a boost from Cobra Kai streaming, a spin-off sequel that ends after six seasons with YouTube Red and Netflix. "Legend" became a new student three years after the ending of "Cobra Kai" ("American-born Chinese" star Ben Wang) became the latest protein for Daniel Larusso (Macchio) and Mr. Han (Chan).

"Karate Kid: Legend" opened in third place, with no strength to beat Disney's "Lilo & Stitch" rebooting, which surpassed the box office for the second straight weekend with a $63 million price of 4,410 venues. Ticket sales fell 57% from its $146 million opening weekend, which is the driving force for an encouraging huge sum. The real-life remake has generated $280 million in domestic and $610 million Big screen two weekends later, worldwide.

In second place, “Mission: Impossion -the The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The second place is, “Mission: Impossion: The Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion – The Mission: Impossion Cruise's eighth place in the 29-year-old action franchise amassed $122.6 million in North America and has accumulated $353.8 million worldwide to date. This is a promising result, except that the movie is one of the most expensive films ever (which cost $400 million), so the "last estimate" will require continuing to climb (such as Ethan Hunt on a biplane in the movie, one of the many exciting, poisoned stunts in the movie) to get rid of the red.

Another newcomer this weekend is A24's supernatural horror film "Bring her Back", which was released for $7 million with 2,449 screens. The production cost is reportedly $20 million. Critics and audiences embraced the frightening film, an exciting sibling who unveiled a horrible ceremony at the home of their foster mothers. Danny and Michael Philippou's Talk Me follow-up Bring he Back becomes the sleeper for 2022. The film started more and more than $10 million, then ended its dramatic run for $91 million worldwide.

Elsewhere in the domestic box office, Wes Anderson's latest feature, Phoenician Spine, opens in a limited release for $570,000 for six screens, an average of $95,000 per location. In getting the top screen average for 2025 (from six screens to surpass the A24's "Friendship" with an average selling price of $444,759 - an average of $74,000 per location) the Phoenician Project will try to maintain that enthusiasm while expanding it to 1,500 North American theaters next weekend. Focus feature is unleashing a well-designed spy thriller with an ensemble of Benicio del Toro, newcomers Mia Threeapleton, Riz Ahmed, Tom Hanks and Benedict Cumberbatch.

As the summer heats up, box offices are getting higher, with total ticket sales up 25.5% from last year, although lagging behind 27% in 2019, according to ComScore.

"The box office is starting in April, and the zoo starts in April," said David A. Gross of the film consulting firm. "The momentum has been stable, but it is always fragile."

Hope, including "Jurassic World Rebirth", Brad Pitt's "F1", Marvel's Fantastic Four: The First Steps and Superman's massive hopeful people have the ability to continue their boom.
