The animated sequel yet again topped the domestic box office, marking its fifth week at No. 1 in its 13 weeks since release, inching closer to becoming the top-grossing film of the pandemic, Deadline reported Sunday (February 21).
The film crossed the $50 million mark over the weekend, trailing just behind Tenet‘s $57.9 million gross.
Nicolas Cage, Emma Stone and Ryan Reynolds all lend their voices to the film. In the movie, the prehistoric family the Croods are challenged by a rival family the Bettermans, who claim to be better and more evolved.

The animated sequel once again topped the domestic box office, grossing just over $2 million in its twelfth week of release, and just under $49 million overall amid the pandemic, Variety reported Sunday (February 14).
The film narrowly beat out Judas and the Black Messiah, which opened to $2 million, and is projected to gross $2.4 million and should end the weekend in second or third place.
“These meagre grosses come as much of the domestic box office remains shuttered due to the coronavirus pandemic. The box office was also negatively impacted by winter storms, as they swept across the Midwest and barreled towards the Northeast. The inclement weather was somewhat offset by recent cinema re-openings in the likes of Chicago and Portland,” the outlet reported.

“Thanks to an unprecedented agreement that allows Universal Pictures to put new releases on demand within weeks of their theatrical premieres, the studio has been more willing than rivals to unveil smaller-scale movies during the pandemic. That’s resulted in Universal and its specialty label Focus Features dominating over U.S. charts. Three of the top five highest-grossing movies this weekend belong to the Comcast-owned studio,” the outlet reported of the studio’s decision to release films amid the pandemic.

The Croods: A New Age is on top at movie theaters.
The family movie surpassed expectations amid the pandemic at the box office and brought in $14.2 million, including $9.7 million for the weekend, across the five-day holiday bracket as of Sunday (November 29), according to THR.
The movie also brought in $20.8 million in seven international markets, leading with $19.2 million in China, resulting in a global debut of $35 million overall.
This is the lowest Thanksgiving box office in decades, however, it still signaled a success: Croods 2 is the first major studio movie to attempt a big screen debut since Tenet, and narrowly came ahead, making it the top debut since the pandemic started.
The movie played to 2,211 theaters amid hundreds of theater reclosures due to the surge of COVID-19.
“This shows that even with a difficult theatrical landscape, people want to come out and get together. The film is incredibly charming,” says Universal’s Jim Orr.
Croods 2 will be available on PVOD in roughly three weeks, in time for Christmas.
In comparison, Frozen 2 brought in over $100 million across the four-day weekend.
