"Box Office Battle: 'Godzilla x Kong' Dominates as 'Monkey Man' and 'The First Omen' Underperform"
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.
