In comparison, this is the lowest opening of the franchise of more than $ 20 million, the previous three installments having been opened with more than $ 51 million. The $ 110-million production adds to a series of recently released suites, not only to underperform expectations before the weekend, but also for under-the-movies previous franchise. At the beginning of the weekend, the film received a majority of negative reviews and the audiences of the first day gave it a "B" CinemaScore, which is hardly an endorsement. The film was presented in front of an audience composed of 56% of men, with 53% of spectators coming from 25 years and over.

internationally, Men in black reported $ 73.7 million from 36 markets, giving the film a global start of more than $ 102 million.

In ending outside the top five, we find the WB publication Tree, that the studio was expecting to start around $ 15 million, but it could only muster an estimate $ 8.3 million from 2 952 locations. That said, even though the critical response has been mixed, the audience has given him an "A" CinemaScore early in the day, but with such a low opening, the film's fate is probably sealed.

Amazon acquired the movie, which stars Emma Thompson and Mindy Kailing, who also wrote the script, at the Sundance Film Festival this year for a record $ 13 million. Even though this openness is not a big opening, it should last a long time on Amazon's Prime Video platform. Friday's audience gave the film a "B +" CinemaScore.
