NOBODY DEBUTS TO NO.1 AND GODZILLA VS. KONG ROARS

LOS ANGELES: Bob Odenkirk, action star?

It’s a premise so unexpected, so curious, that it just might have enticed audiences to watch “Nobody,” a revenge thriller that sees an otherwise unassuming Odenkirk (“Breaking Bad,” “Better Call Saul”) kick ass and take names. “Nobody” debuted atop domestic box office charts, generating $6.7 million from 2,460 venues. It’s a solid but not stellar start as movie theaters in

Los Angeles and around the country begin to reopen in earnest.

Directed by Ilya Naishuller, “Nobody” was well received by critics and audiences. It centers on a mild-mannered suburban dad who goes into vigilante mode after someone breaks into his house.

At the international box office, “Nobody” added another $5 million, boosting its worldwide haul to $11.7 million. With solid word-of-mouth and without notable competition, “Nobody” is primed to stick around on the big screen before Universal puts the film on premium videoon-demand in a matter of weeks. The budget was $16 million, so it shouldn’t be difficult to get out of the red.

Though “Nobody” easily topped box office charts in the U.S., the film was hardly the biggest winner of the weekend. Outside of North America, “Godzilla vs. Kong” kicked off internationally with a massive $121 million from 28 countries. The Warner Bros. movie -- pitting the iconic monsters against each other in the matchup for the ages -- had an especially impressive start in China, where it amassed $70.3 million.
