Jackass Forever has dethroned Spider-Man: No Way Home at the domestic weekend box office by earning $23 million in ticket sales during its opening weekend.
As reported by Variety, Jackass Forever - which once again brings together Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Wee Man, Chris Pontius, Dave England, Danger Ehren, and Preston Lacy and sees them undertaking outrageous stunts that no one should try at home - has more than doubled its production budget of $10 million.
In our Jackass Forever review, we said, "The final chapter in American comedy’s most chaotic saga, Jackass Forever is a hilarious last hurrah for its original crew. An extravagant stunt show filled with more cinematic homages (and more bodily fluids) than ever before, it takes an ill-advised trip down memory lane and raises the stakes in maniacal fashion. Few recent films have been funnier or more delightfully nostalgic."
Spider-Man: No way Home - which had won six of the last seven box office weekends - fell to third place with $9.6 million. No Way Home has now earned $748.9 million at the domestic box office and stands just $11.1 million behind Avatar and becoming the third-biggest domestic release in history.
Worldwide, Spider-Man: No Way Home has reached $1.77 billion and continues to sit at sixth place at the all-time global box office.
Taking second place with $10.1 million was newcomer Moonfall - the sci-fi catastrophe film that stars Halle Berry, Patrick Wilson, John Bradley, Michael Peña, and Donald Sutherland. Moonfall cost $140 million to produce, so it has a much longer way to go to recoup its costs.
In our Moonfall review, we said, "The big ideas in Roland Emmerich’s Moonfall are presented in the most rote and unimaginative fashion. Instead of disaster that feels like enormous spectacle supported by broad emotions, it plays out like a mechanical re-creation of much better films, some of them by Emmerich himself."
Scream placed fourth with $4.7 million, bringing its four-week domestic total to $68.9 million. Sing 2 rounded out the top five by bringing in another $4.1 million to make its domestic total reach $139.5 million.
