Richard Linklater’s “Hit Man” is an authorized hit for Netflix, and a uncommon one: It’s an unique movie (a $20 million acquisition, not an in-house manufacturing) that’s critically acclaimed in addition to a well-liked success.
In the meantime on PVOD, Warner Bros.’ “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” dominated “Godzilla Minus One” (Toho) not solely in theaters (greater than 3 times the gross) but in addition in house curiosity.
“Civil Conflict” (A24) is #1 once more at iTunes in its fourth week of availability (#2 at Fandango), a remarkably sturdy exhibiting for a movie with a powerful however sub-$70 million home field workplace take.

We await phrase on precise viewing minutes, which it not too long ago touted for “Atlas” with Jennifer Lopez. Already, “Hit Man” has extra days at #1, whereas “Atlas” disappeared from the checklist after two weeks.
