“Montana Story” grossed $20,104 from four theaters. And Bleecker Street released the well-reviewed indie “Montana Story,” starring Haley Lu Richardson as a woman who returns home with her estranged brother to care for their ailing father. Playing on 854 screens, the PG-rated pic earned $1.4 million. The faith-based comedy “Family Camp” also opened this weekend from Roadside Attractions.
The A24 film picked up an additional $3.3 million, down only 6% from the previous weekend, bringing its total grosses to $47 million. Meanwhile, “Everything Everywhere All At Once” is still going strong even after eight weeks in release. “Sonic 2,” in its sixth week, earned $4.6 million, raising its cumulative total to $175.7 million. Now in its fourth weekend, Universal’s “The Bad Guys” added $6.9 million, bringing its global grosses to $165.6 million. “Firestarter” debuted in fourth place, behind holdover family films “The Bad Guys” and “Sonic the Hedgehog 2,” which took the second and third spots. “The notion that a theatrical exclusive debut gives movies their best shot at success is right,” Dergarabedian said. As Dergarabedian noted, however, no film that opens “day and date” in theaters and on streaming is expecting to break any records. Audiences weren’t on board either, giving it a C- CinemaScore. Reviews for the film didn’t drop until the day of release, but critics have been less than impressed with this iteration of King’s story about a preteen with pyrokinetic powers. Starring Zac Efron and Ryan Kiera Armstrong, “Firestarter” earned just $3.8 million from 3,412 North American theaters. The only major new movie was Universal Pictures and Blumhouse’s adaptation of Stephen King’s “Firestarter,” which was released in both theaters and on the company’s streaming service, Peacock+. There was little in the way of new competition.
“This marketplace has given ‘Doctor Strange’ a pretty long runway to be successful until ‘Top Gun.’" “Audiences crave these big blockbusters on the big screen,” said Paul Dergarabedian, the senior media analyst for Comscore. The movie has already exceeded the global earnings of the first “Doctor Strange” movie, as well as 11 other Marvel Cinematic Universe titles - and it's not even playing in China. But reviews also weren’t quite as strong as those for the latest “Spider-Man” installment, which could impact the film in the long run. The elements all came together to give “Doctor Strange” the 11th-biggest domestic debut of all time.
Released by the Walt Disney Co., “ Doctor Strange 2 ” benefitted from being the first Marvel movie to follow “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” in which Benedict Cumberbatch’s sorcerer played a pivotal role.ĭirected by Sam Raimi, “Doctor Strange 2” also builds upon the popular Disney+ series “Wandavision” and contains a number of cameos that fans didn’t want to be spoiled. Still, “Spider-Man: No Way Home” slid 68% in weekend two. But a 67% fall is also a steep drop - even for reliably front loaded superhero films. With $688 million in global grosses, it’s already one of the highest grossing films of the pandemic and the second biggest of 2022.
