Nobody, Universal’s action flick starring Bob Odenkirk as a husband who succumbs to his inner rage to exact his own brand of bloody justice, opened at No. 1 at the domestic box office with $6.7M from 2,460 theaters. As we say every week, keep in mind that even with LA theaters opened to the public, venues are still only operating at 25% capacity with expected expansion to 50% by Easter.

According to Deadline, guy flicks like Nobody, namely Unhinged and The Marksman, have been doing a 5x multiplier during the pandemic, which could put the action pic at around $30M by the end of its run. But, at this point with all the uncertainty around theater reopening, who knows what will happen?
In No. 2 was Raya and the Last Dragon with $3.5M (-32%), bringing its total to $28.4M after four weeks, while Tom & Jerry grossed another $2.5M for a $37.1M total after its fifth week.
