Natural 20! 'Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves' Scores a Critical Hit with Strong Opening Weekend
The numbers are in for the weekend’s domestic box office revenue. Paramount Studios’ Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves had a very successful opening weekend, hitting a revenue of $38.5M. This puts the film at the top slot on the charts! Honor Among Thieves had an international revenue of $33M as well, bringing the global total to about $71.5M. With the film’s production budget of $150M, the performance thus far is promising.
John Wick: Chapter 4 made second place with a domestic revenue of $28.2M. The film came out on March 24th, so a revenue decrease isn’t unnatural. This weekend brings the total revenue up to $122.87M, which isn’t far from what Chapter 3 brought in. The latest installment is set up to surpass the previous both domestically and internationally.
