This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.

Summary The new Bill Skarsgård action movie Boy Kills World opens to a slow weekend at the box office.

The movie earned $1.6 million, placing it at No. 11 on the domestic chart.

It has fallen behind the 45th-anniversary re-release of Alien, which took No. 10.

Boy Kills World is off to a rough start at the box office, losing out on a Top 10 slot to a 45-year-old classic. The new action-comedy movie was directed by Moritz Mohr from a screenplay by Tyler Burton Smith and Arend Remmers. It stars Bill Skarsgård as the titular Boy, a deaf and mute fighter who has vowed revenge on the people who killed his family in a near-future dystopia. The cast of the movie also includes Jessica Rothe, Famke Janssen, and H. Jon Benjamin as the inner voice of Boy.

Per Deadline, the Boy Kills World release is kicking off with a slow opening weekend projected to take in a 3-day total of $1.6 million at the domestic box office. This will see it land at No. 11 on the chart, preventing it from holding a slot in the Top 10 during its debut. It has lost out to several other movies, including the new releases Challengers and Unsung Hero, the holdover hits Godzilla x Kong and Civil War, and even the 45th-anniversary re-release of Ridley Scott's sci-fi-horror classic Alien, which is set to take No. 10 with $1.78 million.
