"Box Office Battle: 'Godzilla x Kong' Dominates as 'Monkey Man' and 'The First Omen' Underperform"
TL;DR Summary
The box office saw underwhelming performances from original movies "Monkey Man" and "The First Omen," which fell short of expectations and contributed to a weak April. Despite better-than-average reviews, both films received lower-than-expected box office numbers, with "Monkey Man" earning a B+ Cinemascore and "The First Omen" receiving a C. These disappointing results come after the hope that April would demonstrate continued audience interest in lower-budgeted original titles. The weekend's total box office was around $86 million, down from $205 million last year, signaling a challenging start to the month.
