April moviegoing was largely dominated by Paramount Pictures' “Sonic the Hedgehog 2” — which stayed in second place with $11.4 million, bringing its cumulative total to $160.9 million — and “The Bad Guys," with $44.4 million in two weeks.however, was mostly forgotten by moviegoers. The Open Road-Briarcliffe Entertainment R-rated release launched with an estimated $3.1 million in 2,555 locations. That's much in line with the last few films staring Neeson.
The eighth-place “Memory” was the only new wide release on a quiet weekend in theaters ahead of the Friday release of Marvel's “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.” The Walt Disney Co. release will effectively kick off Hollywood's summer season, one the industry is hoping will approach pre-pandemic levels.
