The action movie “Non-Stop” earned $30 million in ticket sales in its first week of release in theaters in North America.

Last weekend, there were two movies released: Non-Stop and Son of God. Both of these films immediately took the first two positions on the chart of the most popular films in North America. Non-Stop’s revenue was $30 million while Son of God earned $26.5 million.

Non-Stop continues to mark another success for star Liam Neeson in the action genre. Non-Stop is a story about an aviation police officer who is suddenly suspected of hijacking a plane flying from the US to the UK.

Meanwhile, he has no idea who is intentionally harming him and what his real plot is. Time still passes on the flight with no way out, each passenger is mysteriously assassinated. Who is the real killer?

The initial revenue of 30 million USD is very impressive when the film’s budget was 50 million USD. This work attracts a large number of young audiences when 35% of theatergoers are under 25 years old.

Besides, up to 51% of the audience who chose to watch Non-Stop were women.

Coming in second place, Son of God, is the latest work with the theme of Jesus. Adapted from the TV series Bible, Son of God recounts the life story of Jesus from birth, missionary journey, suffering and finally resurrection.

The revenue of 26.5 million USD was slightly profitable for the producer when the film’s production cost was said to be about 22 million USD.

After three consecutive weeks at the top, The Lego Movie dropped to third place in this week’s chart with revenue of $21 million. Currently, the revenue of this movie about puzzle toys reaches 301.8 million USD worldwide.
