| Paramount's Sonic The Hedgehog grossed $2.666 million on Wednesday to lead the daily box office for a sixth straight day. That was down a very sharp 47.6 percent from Tuesday's performance, but in the
bigger picture Sonic The Hedgehog continues to impress with a stronger than expected six-day start of $77.750 million. The well-received Sonic The Hedgehog is running a healthy 17.0 percent ahead of the $66.466 million
six-day haul of last year's Pokémon Detective Pikachu. With the aid of strong word of mouth (Sonic The Hedgehog received an A rating on CinemaScore), BoxOfficeReport expects Sonic The Hedgehog to hold up well in its
second weekend with a predicted $31.5 million. |
| Warner's Birds of Prey held steady in second place with $1.006 million. Birds of Prey declined 39.7 percent from Tuesday and a respectable 44.9 percent from last Wednesday. The thirteen-day take of
Birds of Prey stands at $64.533 million. That is significantly below expectations and places the film a lackluster 36.4 percent behind the $101.447 million grossed by last year's Shazam! through thirteen days of release.
With Birds of Prey coming off a double-holiday inflated performance last weekend and losing some of its IMAX shows to Parasite this weekend, BoxOfficeReport is predicting a third weekend take of $8.5 million for Birds of Prey. |
| Sony's Bad Boys for Life was up one spot from Tuesday to move into third place on Wednesday with $620,163. That was down 35.0 percent from Tuesday and down only 20.0 percent from last Wednesday.
Bad Boys for Life continues to outpace expectations in a big way with a strong 34-day gross of $184.698 million. That leaves the film just $15.302 million away from the $200 million domestic milestone. BoxOfficeReport is predicting
that Bad Boys for Life with gross $6.8 million in its sixth weekend. |
| Fellow Sony release Blumhouse's Fantasy Island was down one place from Tuesday to land in fourth on Wednesday with $613,013. That represented a sizable, but understandable 42.0 percent decline from Tuesday.
Blumhouse's Fantasy Island has grossed $15.424 million in six days, which is in line with expectations and represents a respectable start with the film's low production budget in mind. BoxOfficeReport is predicting that
Blumhouse's Fantasy Island will gross $5.2 million in its second weekend. |
| Universal and DreamWorks' 1917 took fifth for the day with $522,430, while NEON's Parasite placed in sixth with $426,277. 1917 was down 32.0 percent from Tuesday and down 31.2 percent from
last Wednesday and Parasite was down 35.0 percent from Tuesday and down a slim 7.8 percent from last Wednesday. Respective total grosses stand at $147.051 million for 1917 and at $45.417 million for Parasite. For
the weekend, BoxOfficeReport is predicting respective weekend grosses of $5.0 million for 1917 and $4.7 million for Parasite (with the aid of IMAX shows). |
