Space Jam: A New Legacy Dunks On Black Widow At The Box Office As The Marvel Film Suffers A Massive Drop

Like Black Widow, Space Jam: A New Legacy is also a day-and-date theatrical/streaming release, as it is also currently available on HBO Max (without an extra fee on top of subscription costs), but the news for the folks at Warner Bros. is a lot sunnier than for those at Disney. The $31.7 million it has made from the last three days isn’t anywhere near enough for the movie to be called a record breaker during the pandemic, but it is on par with the performance of Adam Wingard’s Godzilla vs. Kong earlier this year, which made around the same amount in the first weekend of April, and it is also the best performing family film of the current “era.” The number also notably surpasses what the original Space Jam made back in 1996 (it brought in $27.5 million back then), though that doesn’t account for inflation and the rise in ticket prices.
