Although people expected happy box office news following the release of two fresh titles – Dev Patel’sMonkey Manand Disney’sThe First Omen, it unfortunately wasn’t the case. Making a surprisingly weak entry, which brought the weekend total to a lower-than-expected scenario, the two movies failed to snatch Sydney Sweeney’s position as box office Queen.
Celebrating big news asImmaculate, achieved a remarkable milestone, despite low expectations, Sydney Sweeney appears to continue her trend of delivering silent hits, like her previous film,Anyone But You. Saving the box office single-handedly, Sweeney appears to be on her way to topple Dev Patel’s film, as it failed to revive the box-office despite optimistic predictions.
Monkey ManandThe First OmenMake a Weak Entry
After Dev Patel’sMonkey Manwas pushed byJordan Peelefor atheatrical release under Universal Pictures, as he believed in the film’s potential, the movie was expected to perform well at the box office. However, having a Cinemascore of B+ (mediocre) when the film hit the theatres,Monkey Mansurprisingly made a weak entry.

Expected to revive the box office alongside another fresh title from Disney –The First Omen, Dev Patel’sMonkey Manunfortunately brought the weekend total to a lower-than-expected collection. The surprisingly weak results of both films suggest an already-weak April sliding toward a further worse scenario, as perIndieWire.
Perhaps overpowered by the second weekend of Warner Bros’Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire,Universal’sMonkey Mankept steady toward a $10.1M opening, as perDeadlinereports. However, Disney’sThe First Omenappears to be blemished with an $8.4M opening. AlthoughDev Patel‘s movie is going stronger compared to the Disney film, they both made disgraceful reports, especially after optimistic predictions.
Sydney Sweeney Achieved a Remarkable Box Office Milestone
Meanwhile, it seems no one can toppleSydney Sweeneyat her box office game, as the actress bagged a remarkable collection with her horror flick Immaculate andher romcomAnyone But You. Releasing the films one after another with low expectations towards their performance, Sweeney surprised fans as both of her films turned into silent hits.

Co-writer and director ofAnyone But You,Will Gluckhad previously predicted in a joking manner, that the film would be the last romantic comedy to be released by a major studio. And shockingly his sarcastic prediction seemed to come true, as Sydney Sweeney’s movie began with an unspectacular $6M during the opening weekend.
However, soon, her romcom picked its pace at the box office and bagged $9.7M domestically by the third weekend. Gradually, as perCollider,Anyone But Youbagged a worldwide total of approximately $216M, stunning everyone equally. Similarly, even her 2024 horror flickImmaculate, with a 71% RT rating has already recovered theestimated production budget of $9M, with its early global haul of $12M.
It seems the way Sydney Sweeney powered her films to a super good box office collection despite running low on hope, no one can topple her remarkable milestone. Single-handedly saving the box office withImmaculateandAnyone But You, Sweeney’s films appear to overpowerMonkey ManandThe First Omen.
Immaculate, Monkey Man,andThe First Omenare running at your nearest theatres.
