Thriller "Mercy" grossed a decent box office in its opening weekend, considering the circumstances
Timur Bekmambetov's film "Mercy" topped the global box office in its opening weekend, earning $22.8 million.
In the USA, the movie starring Chris Pratt, where his character is accused of murdering his wife, earned $11.2 million, displacing the long-time leader "Avatar: The Way of Water" from the top spot. According to Variety, these earnings can be considered successful given the extreme weather conditions in the USA. Due to snowstorms and the closure of theaters in 37 states, the total weekend box office in the USA dropped by 9% compared to the same period last year, totaling about $60 million.
