CocaineBear opened with $8.6 million at the Friday box office, surpassing expectations and taking the top spot.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is shrinking at the box office after tepid reviews. The film is eyeing the biggest second-weekend drop in the nearly 15-year history of the otherwise resilient Marvel Cinematic Universe, as the week’s big new release — Cocaine Bear — overperforms alongside the faith-based fellow newcomer Jesus Revolution.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Starring Keri Russell, O’Shea Jackson Jr. and Alden Ehrenreich, Cocaine Bear is riding on a wave of viral publicity and mostly solid reviews. It also continues Universal’s admirable streak of betting on original films such as Nope, M3GAN, Violent Night and Knock at the Cabin. Cocaine Bear received a so-so B- CinemaScore, which would be low for any other film, but is actually a solid result for a genre picture.
