In a crowded weekend at the domestic box office that includes northmen and fantastic beasts and Nicolas Cage — oh my! — “The Bad Guys” has risen above the competition. The DreamWorks An…
“The Northman” is projected to earn $12.5 million from 3,865 locations. That’s on the higher end of openings for Focus Features, but, then again, “Northman” is far from the typical Focus release. The production budget on director Robert Eggers’ viking action epic reportedly ballooned to $90 million due to COVID-19 precautions and delays .
The bottom has all but fallen out for Warner Bros.’ “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore.” After debuting to a franchise-low $43 million last weekend, the “Harry Potter” spin-off threequel took in $4.1 million from 4,245 locations on it second Friday, representing a calamitous 79% drop-off from its opening day. That’s an out-and-out collapse for a prospective tentpole, much less one carrying a production budget of $200 million.
Other odds and ends at the box office include strong holds for A24’s “Everything Everywhere All at Once” and Paramount’s “The Lost City” . “The Lost City” continues to hold strong in its fifth weekend. The Sandra Bullock-Channing Tatum two-hander should expand its domestic cume to $85 million through Sunday, with a finish above $100 million still in the cards.
