Death on the Nile has secured victory at the domestic weekend box office by earning $12.8 million in ticket sales.
As reported by Variety, Death on the Nile, which is Kenneth Branagh's follow-up to 2017's Murder on the Orient Express and stars Gal Gadot, Annette Bening, Russell Brand, and Letitia Wright, brought in an extra $20.7 million overseas for a global total of $33.5 million. Murder on the Orient opened to $28.7 million in ticket sales and earned $352 million globally during its run.
In our Death on the Nile review, we said, "It takes Death on the Nile far longer than it should to reach its most impactful moments, but actor-director Kenneth Branagh cares deeply enough about Detective Poirot to make it work."
Jackass Forever took second place this weekend with $8.05 million domestically. It saw a 65% drop from its opening weekend and has earned $37.4 million so far in North America. Globally, it is currently sitting at $47.4 million.
The Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson-led Marry Me took third place with $8 million. Unlike Death on the Nile, which is only showing in theaters, Marry Me is also available on Peacock.
Spider-Man: No Way Home added another $7.1 million to its domestic total and placed fourth over the weekend. It's currently only about $1.5 million away from passing Avatar's $760.5 million to become the third highest-grossing domestic release of all time. Globally, Spider-Man: No Way Home is at $1.8 billion and remains #6 on the all-time list.
Rounding out the top five was Liam Neeson's action-thriller Blacklight, which earned $3.6 million in its debut.
These films were all competing over Super Bowl weekend, and the big game saw some exciting new trailers debut, including those for Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, Moon Knight, and The Lord of the Rings: The Power of the Rings.
