Marvel Studios film adds $27 million in second weekend while «No Time to Die» crosses $700 million at global box office
Marvel Studios’ “Eternals” was at least able to avoid the worst possible outcomes after its tepid reception last weekend, earning $27.5 million at the box office this weekend for a decent drop of 61% from its $71 million opening. The comic book epic now has a domestic total of $118 million after 10 days, down from the totals reached to this point by its fellow 2021 Marvel films “Black Widow” ($131 million) and “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” ($144 million). This was to be expected as “Black Widow” has a more recognizable hero in its lead role while “Shang-Chi” was better received and got a boost from its Labor Day weekend release. Overseas, the film added $48 million from 49 markets, giving it a global total of $75.5 million for the weekend and $281.4 million overall. The good news for “Eternals” is that those second weekend box office numbers are stronger than for “Black Widow,” which was released as a premium title on Disney+.
