Success! “Ghostbusters: Beyond” surprised at the North American box office, with an incredible $ 44 million earned in its first weekend.
The result is well above initial projections, which indicated a start of around US $ 28-35 million in the country. Plus, the new movie almost had the franchise’s biggest debut, behind the 2016 reboot, which grossed $ 46 million in its first weekend.
However, the reboot was hugely rejected and criticized by the public and critics alike, dropping dramatically in the weeks that followed. “Ghostbusters: Beyond” is set to shine in the coming weeks, especially after gaining a 96% audience approval rating.
Internationally, the feature grossed US $ 16 million, making a solid world debut of US $ 60 million.
Remember that the production is already screened in national cinemas!
