Tarantino's Hollywood' Holds Well As 'Farewell' Successfully Expands (Box Office)
Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt in 'Once Upon A Time in Hollywood'
SonyOnce Upon A Time in Hollywood earned another $20 million in its second weekend, taking a better-than-hoped 51% drop from its $41 million debut. That’s a terrific 3.5x weekend multiplier from its $5.66 million Friday and gives Sony’s $90 million Quentin Tarantino film a $78.8 million ten-day total. That's still pacing 7% above Inglorious Basterds after ten days, and that 2009 World War II thriller dropped just 49% in weekend two ten years ago in a far more favorable theatrical environment.
The drop was also a lot better than the 56% second-weekend dips for Mamma Mia 2, Straight Outta Compton and John Wick 3. It may be awhile before we know where this DiCaprio/Pitt/Robbie melodrama stands, but this wasn’t a one-weekend-wonder. Film Twitter (and the blogosphere) has been tearing each other apart over this one’s allegedly “problematic” elements or whether Tarantino was right or wrong to expect consumers to know their relatively recent American history. But general audiences are showing up all the same.
Sony's Spider-Man: Far From Home earned another $7.755 million (-37%) weekend for a new $360.329 million global cume. It won't crack $400 million but passing the $373 million cume (sans inflation) of Spider-Man 2 is still in the cards. It has now earned $715 million overseas and $1.075 billion globally. It's currently in second place behind Skyfall ($1.108 billion in 2012, sans 3-D). It should be at around $1.084 billion worldwide tomorrow, just over/under The Dark Knight Rises.
'Toy Story 4'
DisneyWalt Disney's Toy Story 4 earned another $7.2 million (-33%) over the weekend for a new $410.1 million cume, positioning it to pass Toy Story 3 ($415 million in 2010) at the end of next weekend. It looks to wrap up with a domestic cume just over/under the adjusted-for-inflation total of Toy Story 2 ($242 million in 1999/$431 million adjusted) and behind only Toy Story 3, Finding Dory, Finding Nemo and Incredibles 2 among inflation-adjusted Pixar flicks. That's not bad company at all.
Oh, and the film earned another $10.2 million overseas, bringing its foreign cume to $549.2 million. The $200 million Pixar sequel has now earned $959.3 million worldwide. It may not quite catch $1 billion, but it’s a super-duper hit by any stretch of the imagination. And that’s it’s damn great only helps the Disney/Pixar brand going forward. If Frozen II ends up as good as hoped, then this year’s Best Animated Feature battle may end up between Frozen II, Toy Story 4 and How to Train Your Dragon 3.
A24 expanded The Farewell into 409 theaters on Friday, earning $2.49 million (+60%) for their troubles. Lulu Wang's acclaimed dramedy, about a large family that gathers together in China to say goodbye to a dying matriarch, with the twist being that nobody is telling her that she's sick, has now earned $6.837 million. The Awkwafina vehicle earned a promising $5,939 per-theater average. That’s no blow out, but it's may be the closest thing we'll see to an indie hit this summer.
'Crawl'
ParamountParamount's Crawl earned $2.1 million (-47%) this weekend for a new $36 million domestic and $53.6 million worldwide cume. The acclaimed/buzzy and $13.5 million-budgeted hurricane-n-alligators thriller has become a small-scale hit in a summer where such things are hard to come by. Aladdin grossed another $2 million (-37%) domestic (and $6 million worldwide) over the weekend for a new $350.4 million domestic and $1.025 billion cume. Midsommar should be just under $25 million by tonight.
