Originally Published 1 year ago — by Hollywood Reporter

Dev Patel's feature directorial debut "Monkey Man" and "The First Omen" are both performing lower than expected at the domestic box office, with "Godzilla x Kong" retaining the No. 1 spot. "Monkey Man" grossed $4.1 million on Friday for a projected debut of $10.5 million, while "The First Omen" grossed $3.2 million for a projected weekend opening of $8.3 million. Despite the lower-than-expected performance, "Monkey Man" received a positive response at South-by-Southwest, while "The First Omen" is opening in key overseas markets.
