JackassForever may hit a franchise-low with its opening weekend box office due to the pandemic, but it's still projected to take the number one spot for the weekend.
Jackass Forever is poised to take the #1 slot in the box office this weekend. The latest stunt comedy movie is the fourth film in the main theatrical branch of the franchise, which began with the show Jackass that premiered on MTV in 2000 and ran for three seasons.
Jackass Forever was released alongside the new Roland Emmerich disaster film Moonfall starring Patrick Wilson and Halle Berry. The arrival of the pair of films is providing a much-needed boost to the American box office, which has seen a particularly barren January. The past two weekends have been completely devoid of new major wide-release films, so Spider-Man: No Way Home's climb up the all-time charts has continued unabated since its release on December 17, 2021.
Jackass Forever's opening weekend take will likely be the lowest of the franchise, but not by much. The first film, which came to theaters in 2002, had an opening weekend of $22 million and the first follow-up film grossed around $29 million. None of them have been able to compare to the tremendous returns of 2010's Jackass 3D, which took home $50 million in its domestic opening, or the Oscar-nominated Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa with its sizeable $32 million.
Jackass Forever will be the fourth legacy film in a row to take the #1 slot. Scream brought back its core cast for another slasher adventure in Woodsboro, and Spider-Man rose to the top on the back of resurrecting characters from previous franchises featuring the character, but they were preceded by the splashy Steven Spielberg West Side Story remake, which featured an extended cameo from Rita Moreno.
