Gemini Killer lost to Joker in its first week, but still set Ang Lee's best debut record

Ang Lee and Will Smith's new film Gemini Man was officially released in North America last weekend, and the global box office statistics were basically released on Monday. Unfortunately, Gemini Man failed to withstand the strong competition from DC's Joker, which won the Venice Film Festival Grand Prize, in its second week, and lost to the latter at the box office.

Joker can be said to be a classic example of both box office success and critical acclaim in the second half of 2019. In its second week of release, it still topped the box office in most parts of the world, with a total box office of $543.9 million. In terms of North American box office, Joker’s $55 million was unstoppable, while MGM and United Artists’ Halloween celebration The Addams Family unexpectedly beat Gemini Man with a box office of $30.3 million and ranked second. Ang Lee and Spavor’s Gemini Man finally delivered a first-week result of $20.5 million.

Despite this, Gemini Man still became the best debut of director Ang Lee in 25 regions around the world. In addition, the film company has great expectations for the Chinese domestic market, which will be released on the 18th of this week. What do you think of this ultra-standard movie that claims to use 120 frames of 3D 4K?
