Roland Emmerich showed a lot of anger last week when talking about superhero movies and big franchises in general, without going into whether he was right. However, it hasn’t been a superhero movie that has eaten the toast at the US box office.
Last Friday, Moonfall, Emmerich’s new film with Hale Berry, was released. Patrick Wilson and John Bradley.
The director of Independence Day returned to the catastrophic cinema that he is so good at generating a crisis in which the moon crashes into the Earth after leaving its orbit.
As we say, Emmerich joined last week the directors who have been openly critical of superhero movies and their impact on the industry.
Focusing on the United States , Moonfall has raised just over 10 million dollars, against a budget of around 140 million. All this without counting international income, of course.

The collection is timidly higher than that of Spider-Man: No Way Home this week in North American theaters, which has increased its “domestic” box office by 9.6 million dollars, although it has been almost two months in theaters.
So, if the superhero movie hasn’t stolen the spotlight from Roland Emmerich’s blockbuster: who has been?
Well, a low-budget movie with a tremendously loyal audience: Jackass Forever, which was released in the United States last week.
The new film by Jeff Tremaine, Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O and company has raised 23.5 million dollars in the United States, largely amortizing its 10 million production budget.
As reported by Complex, the team of the film was concerned about the premiere, since his favorite age range is between 18 and 35 years old, and it has been 12 years since Jackass 3D was released.
But l Loyal fans of this bunch of daredevils have flocked to theaters across the United States to watch them inflict pain on each other in increasingly bizarre ways.
