It’s not a bird, or a plane – once again, it is Superman taking the top spot at the box office. The vaunted hero trounced the competition with $57.3 million, a 54% fall from its debut last weekend. Globally, it has made $406.8 million, and it held pretty well throughout the week. Warner Bros will need the film to continue to hold as well as possible at the box office, because next weekend brings direct competition in the form of Fantastic Four: First Steps.
Jurassic World: Rebirth came in second place with $23.4 million, for a total domestic gross of $276 million, bringing it to $648 million worldwide in its third weekend of release. Despite terrible reviews and WOM, it only fell 42% from last weekend.
Meanwhile all of this weekend’s new releases underperfomed projections. The newest installment of I Know What You Did Last Summer pulled in $13 million, less than the $15 million predicted, and probably under what the studio was expecting. But with the film only costing $18 million to produce, there is plenty of room for it to make some money before it gets horror competition in August from Weapons. It just needs to leg it out despite bad reviews and word of mouth, a la JW:R.
Smurfs opened in 4th with an $11 million haul, a decidedly bad showing for a children’s film from known IP. It fared better overseas, bringing in $25 million for a total of $36 million worldwide, but this is not an auspicious start for the the poorly reviewed film.
F1: The Movie is still having box office success, coming in fifth with $9.6 million, falling only 26% from last weekend. It almost certainly won’t be profitable with its box office alone due to its enormous $250 million budget, but it is by far the most successful Apple release at the box office to date.
In indie news, Eddington debuted at $4.2 million, under expectations and likely to follow in the box office steps of Beau is Afraid rather than the more successful Midsommar or Hereditary. And with Sorry Baby’s expansion, it finally cracked the $1 million mark.
