More good news for the family box office, DreamWorks Animation and Universal’s Bad Guys easily won the weekend with approximately $ 24 million, more than enough to take Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore from first place in the country.
The Bad Boys, for a viciously smart group of crooked animals, kicked off $ 8 million on Friday from 4,009 theaters after receiving A CinemaScore. Overseas, he earned $ 63 million for an early $ 87 million early recovery worldwide.
The PG colleague released Sonic the Hedgehog 2 – now in its third weekend – even beating Dumbledore with approximately $ 15.2 million out of 3,809 seats for a total of $ 145.8 million.
One or two strikes by Bad Guys and Sonic 2 give hope to exhibitors and Hollywood studio executives that children and parents are making a serious comeback after staying out of much of the pandemic.
Fantastic Beasts 3 fell sharply in its second weekend in more bad news about the future of the Wizarding World franchise. Warner Bros. A major budget event raised $ 14 million in the country from 4,245 cinemas, down 67 percent. He is doing a little better abroad, earning $ 213.2 million for a total of $ 280.3 million.
The Bad Boys weren’t the only new offer this weekend, as Hollywood studios began releasing a wider range of movies as the box office came out of the pandemic.
New Regency’s Focus Features and The Northman opened the weekend for $ 12 million, ahead of expectations. However, with a budget of at least $ 70 million before its release, the film could be in dire financial straits. Northman received B + CinemaScore. The total amount of the film is 23.5 million dollars.
The top five completes Lionsgate’s highly conceptual film The Unbearable Weight of Huge Talent, in which Nicholas Cage plays himself. The film opened $ 7.2 million from 3,036 theaters. While certainly modest on paper, Massive Talent also lives up to expectations. His inability to break through is a reminder that Hollywood movies come sometimes fail to travel outside the city.
The A24 special film Everything Everywhere and All at once continued its remarkable series, ranking sixth with $ 5.4 million out of 2,137 seats for a local total of $ 26.9 million.
There is more.
