Novocaine debuted at #1 during a slow weekend at the box office.
According to Box Office Mojo, the action film, starring Jack Quaid as a man who can't feel pain, brought in $8.7 million in its opening frame, which was good enough to fend off the competition.

The top five also included Captain America: Brave New World at #4 with $5.48 million and the Looney Tunes movie The Day the Earth Blew Up at #4 with $3.17 million.
