“#A New Legacy Dunks on Weekend Box Office Competition with $31.6M Debut<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nLeBron James and the animated Looney Tunes crew dominated this weekend’s box office competition in Space Jam: A New Legacy<\/em><\/strong>. The highly anticipated sequel debut generated $31.6 million at the domestic box office, which surprised analysts who expected the movie to take a backseat to Marvel Studios’ Black Widow<\/em>. The Warner Bros. sequel to 1996’s Space Jam<\/em> easily beat previous forecasts to take the number one spot, leading James mention the haters on social media<\/a>. “Hi haters!,” James posted on social media, with a grinning emoji. In addition to LeBron James, Space Jam: A New Legacy<\/em> also features NBA stars Anthony Davis, Damian Lillard, Nneka Ogwumike, Diana Taurasi and Klay Thompson.<\/p>\n

Black Widow<\/em> was expected to keep its number one spot in its second weekend after an $80 million debut last weekend. However, Space Jam: A New Legacy<\/em> put a stop to that. With that being said, Marvel Studios still has a hit on its hands in this post-pandemic box office landscape, boasting a worldwide total of just over $264 million. In addition to the theater numbers, the latest offering from the Marvel Cinematic Universe is bringing in big numbers on Disney+ from fans choosing to stream the movie from home. Disney has yet to announce a Chinese release date for Black Widow<\/em>, though they are expected to announce one soon.
