The movie 'Mercy', starring Chris Pratt, debuted at number one in the North American box office, recording earnings of 11.2 million dollars, enough to end the five-weekend reign of 'Avatar: Fire and Ash'. This result is considered impressive, given the severe weather conditions that led to the closure of many theaters in the U.S. The weekend was the weakest of the year, with total earnings of approximately 60 million dollars, down 9% compared to the same period in 2025.

Internationally, 'Mercy' generated 11.6 million dollars from 80 markets, totaling 22.8 million dollars globally. The film, which has a budget of 60 million dollars, received a 'B-' rating in CinemaScore surveys. Directed by Timur Bekmambetov, 'Mercy' tells the story of a detective on trial for killing his wife, with his fate decided by a judge with artificial intelligence.

During that weekend, 'Avatar 3' dropped to second place, with 7 million dollars in earnings, having a total of 378 million dollars in North America. The animated film 'Zootopia 2' took third place, generating 5.7 million dollars. The movies 'The Housemaid' and '28 Years Later: The Bone Temple' completed the top five, with earnings of 4.2 million and, respectively, 3.6 million dollars. Additionally, the film 'Marty Supreme', with 9 Oscar nominations, earned 3.5 million dollars, recording the smallest drop in the top five.
