The Robert Pattinson movie will hit the HBO Max streamer on April 19, so it has just one more week solely in theaters. This past week, Warner Bros’ “The Batman” crossed the $350 million mark, and it added another $6.5 million this weekend to take fifth place, down from third and off 41% from last week. Even so, audience polling group CinemaScore had Bay’s movie receiving an “A-” score from those who saw it, compared to the “A” for “Sonic 2.” It is Bay’s lowest theatrical opening ever as a director, below the $12.4 million opening for his sci-fi film “The Island” in 2005. Instead, it ended up opening in fourth place with $8.7 million and about $2,550 per theater. Universal released the movie into 3,412 theaters on Friday, but after Thursday previews brought in just $700,000, it didn’t look good for the movie to take second place, or even third place.
The Sandra Bullock– Channing Tatum adventure-comedy “The Lost City” brought in $9.2 million in its third weekend, holding up well with a 38% drop from last week and giving Paramount two of the top three movies for the weekend.Īfter a brief foray onto Netflix, filmmaker Michael Bay returned to theaters with the high-concept action-thriller “Ambulance,” starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. SEE Box office: All time domestic top-grossing movies The Jared Leto vampire vehicle (based on a Marvel Comics character) doesn’t look likely to hold up well against the rest of the month’s better-reviewed releases. Sony’s “Morbius” took a massive tumble in its second weekend, dropping to second place with $10.2 million, a worse-than-bad 74% drop from its opening weekend.
Believe it or not, that is the biggest opening for a Jim Carrey movie over his nearly 40-year movie career. That is also the second-biggest opening for 2022 so far after “ The Batman” last month, benefitting greatly from the lack of new family movies in theaters the past few months.
Starring Jim Carrey, James Marsden, Tika Sumpter and the voices of Ben Schwartz as “Sonic” and Idris Elba as “Knuckles,” the movie opened in 4,234 theaters on Friday and grossed an estimated $71 million, compared to the $58 million opening for the original two years ago. Instead, Paramount’s family sequel “ Sonic the Hedgehog 2,” the follow-up to the 2020 video game inspired movie, overperformed after making $6.25 million from previews on Wednesday and Thursday. We now have the month’s first release to make more than $70 million, and it wasn’t “Morbius.” (But still, a superhero movie by any other name….)
Wowzers! Most of us thought April might finally kick the box office back into overdrive after three rather dreary months with more than a few weeks sans new wide releases.
