The second installment of “The Chosen: Last Supper” opened in theaters this weekend, raking in more than $6.7 million at the box office, per Box Office Mojo.
“The Chosen: Last Supper — Part 2″ failed to match the success of “The Chosen: Last Supper — Part 1," which opened in theaters last weekend with more than $11.8 million in ticket sales, per Box Office Mojo.
At the domestic box office, “The Chosen: Last Supper — Part 2″ was the third-highest performing movie over the weekend. “The Chosen: Last Supper — Part 2″ was narrowly topped by “A Working Man,” which earned just over $7.2 million in ticket sales, per Box Office Mojo.
But “A Minecraft Movie” dominated the box office all weekend, taking home $157 million at the box office during its debut — and setting a record for biggest video game movie opening ever, per USA Today.
Still, the biblical drama outperformed Disney’s “Snow White,” Universal Picture’s “The Woman in the Yard” and A24’s “Death of a Unicorn” over the weekend.
Earnings from the second installment of the fifth season inch the franchise closer to clearing the $100 million mark in ticket sales. The franchise has now generated around $95 million at the box office, according to Collider.
