Weekend Actuals Update: |
With actuals now in, Warner’s Wonder Woman exceeded yesterday’s studio estimate with a second weekend take of $58.521 M. Wonder Woman had a terrific second weekend hold, as the film
declined a modest 43.3 percent from its opening weekend performance. |
Universal’s The Mummy came in slightly below Sunday’s estimate with an opening weekend gross of $31.688 M. |
Other weekend actuals for the frame include: Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie ($12.181 M), Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales ($10.704 M),
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 ($6.312 M), It Comes At Night ($5.988 M), Baywatch ($4.648 M) and Megan Leavey ($3.811 M). |
Weekend Estimates Update: |
Warner’s Wonder Woman continued to lead the box office with ease this weekend with an estimated take of $57.18 M. With the aid of very strong word of mouth, Wonder Woman held up extremely
well for a film of its size in its second weekend, as it declined 44.6 percent from last weekend. It is especially rare for a blockbuster comic book adaptation to experience a second weekend decline of less than 50 percent,
as the only other comic book adaptations to open with at least $100 M to accomplish the feat are 2002’s Spider-Man (which decreased by just 37.8 percent in its second weekend to gross $71.418 M) and 2008’s Iron Man
(which was down 49.9 percent to take in $51.191 M). Second weekend comparisons of more typical second weekend declines include 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy, which slowed by 55.3 percent in to take in $42.125 M and
2013’s Man of Steel, which fell by 64.6 percent to gross $41.287 M. |
Wonder Woman surpassed the $200 M mark this weekend and has grossed $205.00 M through ten days. Wonder Woman is running an impressive 16.1 percent ahead of the $176.516 M ten-day haul of
Guardians of the Galaxy and just 2.4 percent behind the $210.078 M ten-day take of Man of Steel. With those comparisons in mind and given the strength of this weekend’s hold, Wonder Woman looks like it
will have no problem zooming past the $300 M domestic mark before the end of its run. |
Internationally, Wonder Woman grossed $58.1 M this weekend. That brings the film’s international total to $230.0 M and global total to a massive $435.0 M. |
The domestic news wasn’t anywhere near as positive for Universal’s The Mummy this weekend, as the film debuted softly in second place with an estimated $32.25 M. The Mummy opened towards
the lower end of scaled back expectations, which tended to range from $30 M to $40 M heading into the weekend. Poor critical reviews and the break-out performance of Wonder Woman both took a toll on The Mummy
this weekend, but at the end of the day it appears there just wasn’t much domestic demand for a relaunch of The Mummy franchise so quickly. The Mummy started out 20.3 percent below the $40.458 M opening of
2008’s The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and 25.5 percent ahead of the $25.686 M debut of 2015’s Fantastic Four (another attempt at a franchise relaunch that was viewed as being too soon by many). |
The Mummy registered $12.06 M on Friday (which included an estimated $2.66 M from Thursday night shows that began at 7 PM), decreased 4.4 percent on Saturday to take in $11.53 M and is estimated to slow
25.0 percent on Sunday to gross $8.65 M. As mentioned, critical reviews for The Mummy have been poor. The film currently has a rating of just 4.036 on our LoveHate Rate aggregate measurement of critical and online
ratings. The Mummy is going over better with audiences, though its reception with audiences has been mixed, as the film received a B- rating on CinemaScore. |
It was a far different story internationally for The Mummy this weekend, as the film grossed an estimated $141.8 M from 63 territories. That places the film’s global opening at $174.0 M, which
represents the largest global opening ever for Tom Cruise. Key international debuts included $52.2 M in China, $17.8 M in Korea, $7.6 M in Russia, $5.1 M in Mexico, $4.9 M in Taiwan, $4.6 M in India, $4.5 M in Indonesia and $4.4 M in the United Kingdom. |
Fox and DreamWorks Animation’s Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie was down one spot to take third with an estimated $12.30M. Captain Underpants declined 48.4 percent from last
weekend, which isn’t a strong sign for the film going forward, especially with Disney’s Cars 3 entering the marketplace next weekend. With that said, Captain Underpants is still having a very solid performance
with its modest price tag for a computer animated film in mind, as the ten-day total for the film stands at $44.56 M. Captain Underpants is running 4.6 percent ahead of the $42.60 M ten-day total of last year’s
Ice Age: Collision Course (which fell 48.6 percent in its second weekend to gross $10.99 M) and 30.1 percent behind the $63.79 M ten-day take of 2014’s Mr. Peabody & Sherman (which decreased 32.3 percent in its second weekend to claim $21.81 M). |
Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 claimed fourth and fifth place this weekend with respective estimated grosses of $10.71 M and
$6.24 M. Dead Men Tell No Tales was down a sizable 51.5 percent from last weekend, while Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 was down by just 36.6 percent. Respective total grosses stand at a massive $366.36 M in
38 days for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and at $135.84 M for Dead Men Tell No Tales through 17 days, which is on the very low end of expectations. Compared to the previous installments on their respective
franchises, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is running 24.3 percent ahead of the $294.77 M 38-day take of 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is running 28.5
percent behind the $190.20 M 17-day haul of 2011’s Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. |
A24’s It Comes At Night debuted in sixth place this weekend with an estimated $6.00 M. It Comes At Night had been widely expected to challenge the $8.80 M debut of last year’s
The Witch to become the largest opener ever for A24, but It Comes At Night had to settle as being the second largest opener ever for A24 as it opened 31.8 percent below The Witch. Like
The Witch, It Comes At Night appears to be going over much better with critics than with audiences. The film currently has a solid LoveHate Rate of 7.210, but received a poor D rating on CinemaScore.
With that in mind, it will be tough for It Comes At Night to hold up well going forward, though it should be noted that despite mixed word of mouth, The Witch held up quite well for a horror film with a total gross to opening weekend ratio of 2.86 to 1. |
Meanwhile, Bleecker Street’s Megan Leavey arrived in eighth place with an estimated $3.77 M. Megan Leavey performed in line with its modest expectations, which had tended to range from
$2 M to $5 M heading into the weekend. Megan Leavey registered the second largest opening weekend for young distributor Bleecker Street to date, as the film opened 4.9 percent below the $3.96 M grossed by last year’s
Eye in the Sky during its first weekend of wide release. Megan Leavey has gone over will with both critics and audiences alike. The film has the highest LoveHate Rate of this weekend’s three wide
releases with a current score of 7.724 and received a very strong A rating on CinemaScore. However, after this weekend’s modest start and with a number of new summer releases in the near horizon, it will be tough for
Megan Leavey to remain in theatres for long. |
