The major studios have learned that if they trot out a live action version of a beloved animated property, people will flock to the theaters, and this was certainly the case for this weekend’s debut of How to Train Your Dragon<\/b>, which made $83.7 million domestically.<\/p>\n
The live action version of Lilo and Stitch<\/b> came in second place with $15.5 million, a 52% drop in its fourth weekend of release. It’s made a total of $366.4 million domestically. Another fourth weekend holdover, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning<\/b>, made $10.3 million, for a domestic total of $166.3 million, and dropped only 31% from the previous weekend.<\/p>\n
Audiences made it clear they are interested in romance films with A24’s Materialists<\/b> taking the number three spot at the box office with a $12 million haul. This is a huge opening weekend for an A24 film, and though Celine Song’s follow-up to Past Lives<\/b> has received a B- cinemascore, it is great counterprogramming to the children’s movies and action films occupying the other top five spots at the box office. It has a $20 million budget without marketing, so it should easily be profitable if it has legs. <\/p>\n
In the fifth spot was Ballerina<\/b>, the John Wick spinoff, with $9.4 million take and a 62% drop in its second weekend of release. Lionsgate was certainly hoping for a better result for the film, which has a $90 million budget and has made only $41.8 million domestically so far. <\/p>\n
Indie releases were a bit subdued, with The Phoenician Scheme<\/b> pulling in just over $3 million in its third weekend, and Neon’s The Life of Chuck <\/b>behind that with $2.1 million in its first weekend of wide release. <\/p>\n
