Disney/20th Century Studios’ Free Guy was able to stay on top at the box office for the second consecutive weekend. The movie, which stars Ryan Reynolds, fell 34% from last weekend, earning $18.7 million. Globally, Free Guy has earned $77.2 million in its ten days in theaters. The second win for the movie proves that many people are still willing to head back into movie theaters, though the numbers prove that the pandemic is still having a strong effect on the business.

As it stands, the box office is still far away from a traditional return to normalcy. In addition to the pandemic, the Northeast is taking a pounding from Hurricane Henri, which is keeping people from getting out of their homes. This weekend’s top earning theaters across North America include Montreal, Baltimore, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Sacramento, Nashville, San Antonio, Toronto, New York, Cleveland, Harrisburg Pennsylvania, Odessa Texas, Quebec, Pittsburgh, Dallas, and Edmonton.
