Paramount Pictures’ “Jackass Forever” and Lionsgate’s “Moonfall” nabbed the top two spots at the domestic box office this weekend, grossing $23.5 million and $10 million, respectively, while kicking the mighty “Spider-Man: No Way Home” to third place.
The low-budget franchise title “Jackass Forever” exceeded expectations — which forecasted an opening weekend total in the mid-teen millions — while pricey disaster epic “Moonfall” performed about as poorly as predicted, according to estimates from measurement firm Comscore.
With the exception of Paramount Pictures’ “Scream” — which briefly unseated “Spider-Man” upon its debut — the latest installment in the web-slinging franchise has previously dominated the domestic box office since December. No major studio wide releases had even opened in the previous two weeks.
