The top three are "Civil War", " Godzilla vs. Kong 2" and "The Expendables: Frozen City".
There are four new films on the list this week.
Ranked tenth is the Australian horror film "The Spider in the House", which only took in 1.2 million US dollars in the first three days of the weekend. It is a foreign film, and it has not been released on a large scale, so it cannot get a high box office.
The re-release of Universal Pictures' classic animated "Shrek 2" grossed US$1.35 million at the box office, ranking ninth.
Julio Quintana's film "The Wild Horse", which he wrote and directed, took in US$1.39 million at the box office in three days, ranking eighth.
The film stars Dennis Quaid, the actor of "The Day After Tomorrow", and takes the inspirational route of golf sports. The overall audience is not large, and the performance can only be considered satisfactory.
"Wrath of the Monkeys" and "The Omen" both dropped more than 50% in their second week, ranking sixth and seventh respectively.
Fortunately, the production cost of these two films is US$30 million, so it will not be a big problem to make a small fortune on streaming media platforms.
"Civil War," the fifth feature film directed by Alex Garland, grossed $25.71 million at the box office in its first weekend, beating the three-week-old monster blockbuster "Godzilla vs. Kong 2" to win the extremely low-gold box office Box office champion.
The film is rated R in North America and is produced and distributed by a24, which is good at low-cost operations. The films produced by this company are basically small-scale openings, so the box office of previous films in the first week was not ideal.
"Civil War" surpassed the first-week opening score of 2018's "Hereditary" of $13.6 million, becoming a24's highest opening film in its first week. The film cost $50 million, making it the studio's most expensive film to date.
The film tells the story of a reporter played by Kirsten Dunst who travels across the front lines and manages to survive.

Last week, the horror film " Arcadia " starring Nicolas Cage had a box office failure. It only collected US$480,000 in the first weekend and missed the top ten.
Because the film was distributed in a home theater model, it was only released in 1,100 theaters in North America. Cage is about to get rid of the title of the king of bad movies, but how to break the title of "box office poison"?
Brother Fei believes that Cage has starred in too many bad movies in the past, which are somewhat similar to our package Bell , so his reputation has suffered a backlash. Everyone does not believe that Cage can still make high-quality movies, so he will avoid the lightning first and watch the opening of the film. How will the final word-of-mouth be before you decide whether to watch it?
A Chinese viewer on Douban said this: was the first time in my life and I watched it in a reserved theater.
The movie is okay, the suspense is strong, the monster's head shaking is very distinctive, and it's cool for the father to take his two sons to fight the monster. It was just a fierce battle in one night, and both the parents of the two children died, but they could still make love the next day Traveling to the end of the world, I think it’s a bit too unreal.
As expected, the Rotten Tomatoes trend of "Xanadu" is the same as that of "Civil War". The popcorn index of the audience has been directly knocked down. There is no way to achieve high box office.
Cage still has a long way to go if he wants to reverse the title of "box office poison".

The other one is the latest work of the great director Guy Ritchie "Top Secret Warfare".

The quality of Guy Ritchie's movies is fine, it just depends on whether they can be a hit at the box office.
