'The Croods: A New Age' tops Oscar-buzzy 'Judas and the Black Messiah' at the US box office
Fox News
The animated family comedy “The Croods: A New Age” topped the North American box office for another week despite the release of Oscar contender “Judas and the Black Messiah.”
According to Variety, "The Croods: A New Age" raked in a little more than $2 million over the weekend, bringing its total up to roughly $49 million. While a modest showing in normal times, the number makes for a surprisingly high total during the coronavirus pandemic. The figure was enough to top "Judas and the Black Messiah," which reportedly drew in $2 million with a final opening weekend projection of about $2.4 million. The win for "The Croods" comes with a bit of an asterisk as "Judas and the Black Messiah" is among the slew of 2021 releases that Warner Bros. rolled out both in theaters and on its HBO Max streaming platform. As a result, those interested in the film had the option to view it from the comfort of their own homes to avoid a slew of winter storms that moved from the midwest to the northeast last week. However, that obviously skews the data between the film’s overall reception and box office numbers.More Related News
