Box Office: ‘It Ends With Us’ Scores $50 Million Opening Weekend, ‘Borderlands’ Flops With $8.8 Million https:\/\/t.co\/deFsWS3xQU<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Variety (@Variety) August 11, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Sycophant Sweethearts Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are 1st (Deadpool and Wolverine<\/b>, 54$m, now in the 1$b club less than a month after release) and 2nd (It Ends With Us <\/b>50$m) respectively. You’ve heard enough about them.<\/p>\n

Twisters has 15$m<\/b>.<\/p>\n

That other new release, Borderlands<\/b>, starring all of your former favorite people, sitting at a whopping 10% on RT, show up with 8.8$m<\/b>, lower than even my predictions last week. I write this post in snippets over the week an I had a 10$m estimate up.<\/p>\n

That’s scarcely better than NEON’s Cuckoo<\/b>, with 3m$. Curiously, no one is giving numbers for Despicable Me 4 <\/b>yet, but I fail to believe it didn’t make the top 5.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The budget for this thing (Borderlands) was 110$m<\/i>.<\/p>\n

This could have been a Dungeons and Dragons – Honor Among Thieves<\/b> level hit (using that term loosely<\/i>); That with its previews at least opened to about 37$m last year (though it did have early showings up to 2 weeks before it released that somehow count in the weekend gross.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

But, well, 10% RT. Just because something is a popular video game (IS It popular? It’s well regarded, but popular?) doesn’t justify spending that much for a movie. Hell, The Creator, Godzilla Minus One cost<\/b> less last year.<\/p>\n

Can you name the other movie Jack Black and Cate Blanchett were in (without looking it up)?<\/p>\n
