'Croods 2' Continues to Dominate at Theaters Amid Pandemic - Box Office Numbers Revealed!

The Croods: A New Age is continuing to dominate at the box office.

The animated comedy sequel, which brought in the most revenue over Thanksgiving weekend last week, is once again on top at the box office as of Sunday (December 6) with $4.4 million at 2,205 locations in North America, Variety reported.

Nicolas Cage, Emma Stone and Ryan Reynolds all lend their voices to the film. In the movie, the prehistoric family the Croods are challenged by a rival family the Bettermans, who claim to be better and more evolved.

The movie has since brought in $20.3 million in its first twelve days.

“After an opening that topped very modest expectations, Croods is naturally remaining the dominant film in a market operating with less than 40% of theaters open currently. Renewed lockdowns and closures across the country will probably keep exhibition’s hands tied for the remainder for the holidays, even with Wonder Woman 1984 and a few other releases on the horizon to provide open theaters and willing audiences with fresh content,” Shawn Robbins of Box Office Pro said.

The original Croods movie earned $89 million during its first two weekends in 2013.

Warner Bros. recently made a surprising decision regarding the future of their titles in 2021 amid the pandemic.

The Croods: A New Age is on top at movie theaters.

The family movie surpassed expectations amid the pandemic at the box office and brought in $14.2 million, including $9.7 million for the weekend, across the five-day holiday bracket as of Sunday (November 29), according to THR.

The movie also brought in $20.8 million in seven international markets, leading with $19.2 million in China, resulting in a global debut of $35 million overall.

This is the lowest Thanksgiving box office in decades, however, it still signaled a success: Croods 2 is the first major studio movie to attempt a big screen debut since Tenet, and narrowly came ahead, making it the top debut since the pandemic started.

The movie played to 2,211 theaters amid hundreds of theater reclosures due to the surge of COVID-19.

“This shows that even with a difficult theatrical landscape, people want to come out and get together. The film is incredibly charming,” says Universal’s Jim Orr.

Croods 2 will be available on PVOD in roughly three weeks, in time for Christmas.

In comparison, Frozen 2 brought in over $100 million across the four-day weekend.

Nicolas Cage, Emma Stone and Ryan Reynolds all lend their voices to the film. In the movie, the prehistoric family the Croods are challenged by a rival family the Bettermans, who claim to be better and more evolved.

Just when all seems lost, a new threat will propel both families on an epic adventure outside the safety of the wall, one that will force them to embrace their differences, draw strength from each other and forge a future together.

Emma Stone, Ryan Reynolds, Nicolas Cage, Catherine Keener, Clark Duke, Cloris Leachman, Peter Dinklage, Leslie Mann and Kelly Marie Tran star in the movie, out on November 25.
