If May started big and ended low, then maybe the opening lull of June will rise as the big hits of the summer start to arrive. It does look like a good time will be had by Spy; the Melissa McCarthy-starring, Paul Feig-directed action comedy is winning critics and audiences alike, opening with an estimated $30 million (though not releasing its costs as of yet). San Andreas slid to second with an estimated $26.4 million, but the action epic, even with no
While Mad Max: Fury Road struggles domestically with an estimated $8 million at the box office, it has done good business worldwide and has brought in over $300 million in total gross. Pitch Perfect 2, on the other hand, has long overshadowed its predecessor, an estimated $7.7 million adding to a $161 million domestic total…and if it cost even slightly more than the original and its $17 million budget, it is beyond successful.
Tomorrowland continues its downward spiral with an estimated $7.7 million, falling well short worldwide of its $190 million costs, while Avengers: Age of Ultron, with its estimated $6.2 million, casts a long shadow over it with $438 million in domestic revenue and $1.3 billion worldwide.
Finally, Aloha and Poltergeist, both critical failures, appear to be destined to low box office take as well, earning an estimated $3.3 million and $2.9 million respectively. While Poltergeist has an edge with $44.5 million earned domestically so far, it also has not released budget info, spelling bad news for the effects-laden remake.
