‘Bob Marley: One Love’ Stays on Top as ‘Ordinary Angels’ and ‘Drive-Away Dolls’ Underwhelm at the BO!!

Grosses haven’t changed seismically from yesterday in what is hopefully the last less-than-$70M weekend for a while. Paramount’s Bob Marley: One Love is coming in at $13.5M, -53%, for a $71.1M total by EOD. But here’s the short and sweet takeaway from today: Exhibition (and studios) scream that they need product coming out of Covid, and even more so after the strikes turned the first … Continue reading ‘Bob Marley: One Love’ Stays on Top as ‘Ordinary Angels’ and ‘Drive-Away Dolls’ Underwhelm at the BO!!

Paramount’s Bob Marley: One Love is going to be so high this weekend with a $51M 6-day that the Reinaldo Marcus Green-directed movie is going to post a 3-day of $27.7M. That’s higher than Paramount’s own Rocketman ($25.7M), which happened during the pre-pandemic summer days of May-June 2019. Bob Marley isn’t that far from the $31.2M opening of Warner Bros.’ 2022 Elvis. Essentially, Bob Marley: … Continue reading ‘Bob Marley: One Love’ Stomps ‘Madame Web’ with $51M Opening at the BO!!

How bad was this year’s Super Bowl weekend? Realize that Kenneth Branagh’s romance mystery misfire, Death on the Nile, opened to more over the Big Game weekend ($12.8M) two years ago, and that’s when female moviegoers were scared of Omicron! Super Bowl weekend, despite its damper on Sunday business, used to be a box office frame that could still yield results, even for films aimed … Continue reading ‘Argylle’ Suffers Huge Drop as ‘Lisa Frankenstein’ Opens Decently at the BO!!

Universal’s M. Night Shyamalan movie Knock at the Cabin held up over Paramount’s 80 for Brady, $14.2M to $12.5M, even though the latter had discount matinee ticketing in most theaters coast-to-coast. While the experimental ticket price drop didn’t exactly mushroom more bucks than Knock at the Cabin, 80 for Brady pulled in more people than Knock at the Cabin, estimated 1.3 million to 1.1 million, … Continue reading ‘Knock at the Cabin’ Opens with $14.2 Million while ’80 For Brady’ is Popular at the BO!!

Even with a Marvel movie overperforming in the marketplace — such as Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which conquered $64M over 5 days — the Thanksgiving Wednesday-Sunday stretch wasn’t one for the record books.

‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ Retains Top Spot as ‘She Said’ Flops at BO!!

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever‘s second weekend is coming in lower than its projected $70M+ with $67.3M, -63%. That’s not necessarily something to get worried about, however, as sources keep telling me this pic’s running time is what’s slowing it down a bit. At the same time, that second weekend is slightly ahead of Black Adam‘s $67M opening weekend. On the bright side, it’s Thanksgiving week, … Continue reading ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ Retains Top Spot as ‘She Said’ Flops at BO!!
