The Jungle Book may have been out for three weeks, but it barely shows any signs of slowing down. With an estimated $42.4 million, it held its first-place post at the box office yet again, and by a similarly wide margin as it did the week before…The Huntsman: Winter’s War remained in second, but dropped to an estimated $9.4 million. It held nearly even against the well-
Mother’s Day opened to a lackluster critical response and an equally tepid box office, with an estimated $8.3 million. It has had the lowest opening of the Garry Marshall “Romantic Holiday” movies, and considering the previous budgets of Valentine’s Day and New Year’s Day hovered around the $50 million mark, this entry is likely not going to make back its costs for some time. Barbershop: The Next Cut and Zootopia, in the meantime, may have fallen to fifth and sixth place with an estimated $6.1 million and $5 million, respectively, but at least one of them is a definitive success, as Zootopia has long surpassed $931.4 million worldwide. Sadly, where Zootopia succeeded, Ratchet & Clank has failed…the CG film based on the Sony videogame property opened in seventh with $4.8 million, and even without a reported budget it is highly likely it did not cost only a few million to make.
The Boss closes in on breaking even as it adds an estimated $4.3 million, while Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice adds an estimated $3.8 million to $862.9 million worldwide take. Finally, in tenth, Criminal held onto the top ten for an estimated $1.3 million, but the Kevin Costner thriller will exit the list with a paltry $13.5 million total and likely a financial disappointment.
