Nobody Opens In Top Spot at the Box Office

Bob Odenkirk’s new action movie Nobody takes the top spot at the box office in its debut weekend. The film opened with $6.7 million from more than 2,000 theaters. The film has been warmly received by critics, including ComicBook.com Adam Barnhardt, who writes, “Nobody is light on a story in an attempt to craft a sympathetic protagonist that’s relatable to a vast majority of the audience that will see this movie in theaters. By the time the plot comes around, you’re already invested in the main character enough to forgive how wobbly the story told might be. Nobody aces the thing it set out to do — it tells a character-driven story that turns Odenkirk into a bonafide action superstar. The fact they gave Doc Brown a cache of sawed-off shotguns is just the cherry on top of an already-excellent shootout sundae.”

Disney’s Animation’s Raya and the Last Dragon moves into second place after three straight weeks in the top spot. Tom & Jerry slides into the third place spot, while Daisy Ridley and Tom Holland’s dystopian sci-fi movie Chaos Walking holds firm in fourth place.
