Johnny Knoxville and his knockabout henchmen took over the U.S. weekend box office with “Jackass Forever,” bringing in $23.5 million from 3,604 theaters. What Happened: Released by Paramount Pictures, a ViacomCBS (NASDAQ:CMCSA) division, the stunt comedy “Jackass Forever” was the rare top grossing film of the pandemic-era cinema that was not an action-adventure or horror film. Roland Emmerich’s “Moonfall” from Lionsgate (NYSE: LGF-A) was the weekend’s second highest grossing release with $10 million from 3,446 theaters. “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” which was the top-grossing film for six of the last seven weekends, placed third by bringing Sony Pictures (NYSE:SONY) $9.6 million from 3,600
