This weekend brought an exciting showdown at the theaters, leaving one film to clearly outpace its competitor while others struggled to maintain momentum. A close battle emerged between two of the most anticipated releases as critics and audiences alike compared their performances.

A head-to-head competition took place between Edgar Wright’s new action-packed venture and the sequel from the acclaimed series. The sequel managed a strong showing in the domestic market with earnings surpassing $21 million, while its rival posted approximately $17 million in the same region. Its international numbers were even more striking.

  • The sequel generated over $21 million in the United States.
  • It amassed an additional $54 million overseas, making its overall total around $75 million.
  • The action-packed title lingered at roughly $28 million in worldwide earnings.

Elsewhere, a previously standout movie experienced a significant drop in audience attendance during its second weekend, with a performance decline nearing 68% compared to its earlier success.
