With movie theaters slowly open across the United States--and more people are getting vaccinated--Americans are headed to the movies again. Between May 7-9, Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham's movie Wrath of Man took the number one spot.

　　Taking in $8.1 million for its opening weekend, Wrath of Man opened in more than 2,800 theaters domestically, according to Box Office Mojo. The film stars Statham as H, a man who works at a cash truck company in Los Angeles that moves millions of dollars around the city. Of course, H is a very mysterious man, one who is seeking revenge for a murder in his past.

　　Coming in at the second spot is the anime movie Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, which has now been in theaters for three weeks. Over the weekend, the movie made $3 million. In total, Demon Slay has made $21 million domestically, and $432 million worldwide. The film broke records in Japan when it first released in October, making over $21 million--the best weekend opening for a film in the country.

　　The fourth and fifth spots go to two movies that were both released simultaneously on HBO Max: Mortal Kombat ($2.3 million) and Godzilla vs. Kong ($1.9 million). Considering the circumstances, both moves have had a good run in theaters so far. Mortal Kombat made $37 million while Godzilla vs. Kong is setting pandemic records, making $92 million domestically. Worldwide, Godzilla vs. Kong is at $422 million.
