Box-Office Weekend: Bob Marley Claims Crown
A new film has taken control of the box-office weekend top ten as Bob Marley: One Love managed to edge out Madame Web by $4.3 million over the last three days to claim first place.
In its inaugural weekend in release, the biopic Bob Marley: One Love took in $27.7 million for Paramount Pictures, giving the film a first-week total of $45.6 million. Second place was claimed by Madame Web which made Columbia Pictures $15.2 million over the weekend and an opening week total of $23.4 million. Meanwhile, last weekend’s top film, Argylle dropped to third place where it added $4.7 million, bringing the Universal Pictures International product’s three-week total to $36.5 million. Climbing two spots to finish in fourth this weekend was Universal Pictures’ Migration which took in $3.8 million, raising its nine-week total to $114.8 million for the studio. The second Fathom Events release of The Chosen (this week being episodes four through six from season four), landed in fifth place where it brought in $3.44 million over the weekend, and $4.2 million overall.
Falling a spot to sixth place over the weekend, Wonka added $3.40 million for Warner Bros., giving the film a ten-week total of $209.8 million. Dropping four spots to land in seventh place this weekend was The Beekeeper with $3.3 million. This brings the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer product a six-week total of $59.9 million. Losing one spot this weekend was Anyone But You, which took eighth place with $2.4 million, bringing its nine-week total to $84.7 million for Columbia Pictures. Plummeting seven spots this weekend to finish in ninth place, was Lisa Frankenstein with $2.0 million. This gives the Focus Features product a two-week total of $7.7 million. Finally, Land of Bad from Avenue Entertainment made its debut in the weekend box office in tenth place with $1.8 million in its first weekend of release.
Three films were knocked out of the box-office weekend top ten as last weekend’s eighth- through tenth-place finishers were all pushed out. After six weeks, Mean Girls has made $71.0 million for Paramount Pictures, but failed to make the top ten this weekend. Meanwhile, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s American Fiction fell from the top ten this weekend after amassing $18.9 million for the studio after ten weeks in release. Finally, after eleven weeks, Searchlight Pictures must certainly have enjoyed the $31.8 million that Poor Things has made, despite the film’s falling out of the top ten this weekend.
