DC and Warner Bros.’ long-in-the-works superhero movie “The Flash” opened to $55 million in its first three days in North American theaters, according to studio estimates on Sunday.
” Including $15 million from 17 international territories, “Elemental” launched to $44.5 million globally.
It's possible, Dergarabedian said, that Spider-Man's formidable holding power — bolstered by reviews and word of mouth — ate into “Elemental's” launch. Both are also rated PG. “The Blackening” was the other big release this weekend – a bit of counterprogramming to the bigger branded releases with an original horror-comedy about a group of friends, who are Black, who get together for a weekend away and find themselves on the run from a killer. Lionsgate and MRC acquired the $5 million movie from director Tim Story after it debuted to positive reviews at the Toronto International Film Festival. Released in 1,775 theaters, “The Blackening” made an estimated $6 million.
“Asteroid City” was an undeniable bright spot in limited release. Focus Features set up “Asteroid City” pop-up experiences at theaters in New York and Los Angeles to help draw audiences.
