TheJackassteam’s blood, sweat and bruises paid off.
The fourth big-screen iteration of the franchise,Jackass Foreveropened in first place at the domestic box office this weekend, amassing $23.5 million, according toVariety.Moonfall, the big-budget disaster movie fromIndependence Daydirector Roland Emmerich and starring Halle Berry and Patrick Wilson, underperformed in its opening weekend, coming in second place with $10 million.
According toThe Hollywood Reporter,Moonfallcost $138 million to make. Emmerich, 66, told the outlet last month about the unpredictability of the box office these days.
“You never know with movies. It could die at the box office or be a huge hit or make barely its money [back]. Who knows these days,” he said, adding of a potential sequel: “If it’s an enormous, enormous success, why not? What I will then do, is do two and three together. And have a real, clear cliffhanger [in between].”
Though thisJackass Forevermarks a win at the pandemic-stricken box office, it comes in as one of the lowest openings for the series. The first film opened to $22.7 million 20 years ago, perBox Office Mojo, and the biggest opening came withJackass 3Din 2010, $50.3 million.
Spider-Man: No Way Homefell to third place, though it has mostly held tight at No. 1 since its record-breaking debut in December. The fifthScreammovie unseated it for one week in January. TheSpider-Mansequel added $9.6 million to its total haul, helping it move closer to eventually passingAvatar’s box office from back in 2009 (not adjusted for inflation).

Jackassstar Johnny Knoxville recently spoke to PEOPLE aboutpossibly feeling ready to retirefrom the dangerous stunt franchise.
“My doctor said I can’t take another shot to the head, I’ve had so many concussions. I put my family through enough, quite honestly. I don’t think I have anything else to prove,” said Knoxville, 50. “Luckily, I’m not very in touch with my body, which has cost me, but we got some great footage because of it.”
