None of the humble box office was, but could the completion succeed?

2021 was a very strange year for cinema. The box office was to support life immediately after the closure of the 2020 caused by the epidemic. But Hollywood tried to return the masses to theaters, With famous films like “Godzilla Vs. Kong”, people welcome in a meaningful way. Then there were smaller films like Universal’s Action/Comedy “NOPE”, which became a great success for studio, especially during grades on the epidemic curve. Now, four years later, Bob Odekirk (“Better Call SAUL”) has returned to “No one 2.” The question is, can you succeed in its own terms in a completely different market?

“No one” strikes theaters at the end of next week and is currently looking for the opening of 11 to 16 million dollars locally, for each. Bookness net theory. Although this does not shine exactly the plans on the fire, the basic principle was opened to only $ 6.8 million in North America before reaching $ 27.5 million locally and $ 57.5 million worldwide. Many of this were related to the massive lack of competition, as a few films were released in theaters in the first half of 2021.

However, the shy of $ 60 million for the budget -reported budget worth $ 16 million is a strong return rate, so UNIVERSAL rolled the bones on a supplement. This time, it opens a continuation of the late Summer Window in August dry. To this end, it is opened directly against two horror films, “Jimmy and Stiggs” and “Witchboard”. All due respect, but awareness of that is very low.

Direct competition will not be a big problem. plus, “The Marvel Four: First Steps” is likely to run out of Steam by that timeAs Will the capital, “Superman”. For the largest part, the coast is clear. Even if the budget UNIVERSAL has doubled, the opening of more than $ 15 million US dollars for more than $ 30 million will complete the task.

The sequel picks up four years from the first movie with HUTCH (Odnkirk) that works on its debts to the Russian mob. Hatch and his wife Becca (Kony Nielsen) again, so they decided to move the family to a water park for a quick vacation. A simple meeting with some of the fatwas in the city in this small tourist city unintentionally withdraws them to a world of crime.

Actors also include Rza and Christopher LLOYD who restore their roles from the first movie, with Culin Hanks (“Orange County”) and Charun Stone (“” Casino “). This time it is around it, Timo TijjoeoIlya Nisholler.

The biggest question is whether “no one” can achieve a wavy complement that does not differ or not John Wake: Chapter 2, which has made more than $ 170 million worldwide After withdrawing the first movie less than $ 90 million. The first “nobody” apparently it was good on VOD and flow, so it is quite possible that the audience to follow up is greater. But will this audience feel the need to see it in the theater? Or are they planning to wait and broadcast?

The answer to this question has greater consequences for the industry as a whole, as the August list, as we mentioned, is somewhat weak. “Weapons” and “Ferakier FrownBut these are not the types of films that can carry us until September when “The Conjuring: Last Rites” opens. All the respect, but “The Toxic Avenger” does not contain wonderful films written everywhere. Not “theft” and “honey no!” It is strange that this complement the procedure may have the best opportunity to go out in a fairly useful way to help lift the box office in late summer, if things go well. We will see where the chips will fall.

“No one” strikes theaters on August 15, 2025.
