Disney’s Raya and the Last Dragon is number one at the box office for the third consecutive weekend in a row. Movie theaters in Los Angeles opened back up last weekend, which had a major impact on this weekend’s numbers. Raya and the Last Dragon star Kelly Marie Tran appeared on stage at the El Capitan on Friday to welcome audiences back into theaters and received a huge reaction from the shocked audience. As of this writing, the animated family movie has earned just over $71.2 million globally.
Reopened movie theaters across North America have now crossed the 3,000 mark as Cinemark and AMC welcome moviegoers back. This weekend marked the first time that Los Angeles has been the number one box office earner in the nation since before the pandemic took place. On Friday and Saturday alone, Los Angeles earned over $1 million in ticket sales, which is well ahead of New York when it reopened its movie theaters. Regal is still closed, but it is believed they will be opening up soon, which will see another box office boost across North America.
