Free Guy holds on to #1, Paw Patrol #2


For the weekend of August 20-22, 2021, Free Guy managed to hold off all newcomers and remain #1 for its second week. It's a win for Ryan Reynolds, it's a win for 20th Century Studios, and it's one of the lone bright spots for a box office that is retreating in the wake of the Delta variant of COVID pushing people back to February levels of cases and caution.

Of the new titles, many felt like end-of-summer dumps, with Paramount managing to find the most success with Paw Patrol: The Movie, considering that it's also available on Paramount+.
