Winter storms and cinema closures in North America didn香蕉视频直播檛 dampen the opening weekend for 香蕉视频直播 香蕉视频直播

The Paramount release, adapted from the Broadway musical and the 2004 Tina Fey movie, earned $28 million in its first three days in theaters according to studio estimates Sunday. Not accounting for inflation, that香蕉视频直播檚 more than the $24.4 million the first movie made in its opening weekend.

The 香蕉视频直播淢ean Girls香蕉视频直播 competition over the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend featured several new releases, including the Jason Statham action movie 香蕉视频直播 香蕉视频直播 and the Jay-Z produced biblical satire 香蕉视频直播淭he Book of Clarence,香蕉视频直播 in addition to a slew of awards contenders capitalizing on buzz from recent nominations and the .

As with 香蕉视频直播淏arbie,香蕉视频直播 another enthusiastically pink movie, female audiences made up the vast majority (76%) of opening weekend ticket buyers for 香蕉视频直播淢ean Girls.香蕉视频直播 According to exit polls, 70% were between the ages of 18 and 34, which, yes, means that it had appeal for audiences who hadn香蕉视频直播檛 been born when Regina George was first introduced to the world.

香蕉视频直播淭he property is iconic,香蕉视频直播 said Chris Aronson, Paramount香蕉视频直播檚 president of domestic distribution. 香蕉视频直播淭ina Fey is legendary and her contemporary twist has resonated with audiences, particularly the female audience.香蕉视频直播

This iteration of 香蕉视频直播淢ean Girls香蕉视频直播 stars Angourie Rice, Auli香蕉视频直播檌 Cravalho and , who played Regina on stage. It was originally planned to go straight to streaming on Paramount+, but the studio pivoted after test scores were positive. Social media played a big part in getting the word out and 香蕉视频直播淢ean Girls香蕉视频直播 also inspired groups of friends to go to the movies together. An estimated 40% went with two or more friends.

Fey returned to write and co-star in the new film, which was directed by Samantha Jayne and Arturo Perez Jr. and cost a reported $36 million to produce. Reviews have been more positive than not, with a 70% on Rotten Tomatoes, but audiences gave it a B CinemaScore which may not bode especially well for word-of-mouth appeal. Recent musicals like 香蕉视频直播淲onka香蕉视频直播 and 香蕉视频直播淭he Color Purple香蕉视频直播 scored in the A-range. The studio is optimistic after this weekend though. It also made $6.5 million from 16 international markets.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 no secret that the release calendar is a little light for the first couple months of the year and because of the reception to this film we stand a chance of broadening this audience,香蕉视频直播 Aronson said. 香蕉视频直播淚t really is a crowd-pleaser.香蕉视频直播

Amazon and MGM香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淭he Beekeeper香蕉视频直播 debuted in second place with an estimated $16.8 million from 3,303 theaters. Men made up approximately 62% of ticket buyers and audiences overall gave it a B+ CinemaScore. By the end of the four-day weekend, the studio expects it to have made $19.1 million. Miramax handled the international distribution for 香蕉视频直播淭he Beekeper,香蕉视频直播 which also grossed $20.4 million from 49 territories.

Third place went to 香蕉视频直播淲onka,香蕉视频直播 which added $8.4 million in its fifth weekend. The Timoth茅e Chalamet-led musical has now made over $178 million domestically and $500 million globally.

香蕉视频直播淢usicals are on a roll,香蕉视频直播 said Paul Dergarabedian, the senior media analyst for Comscore. 香蕉视频直播淚t seems like a lot of studios run away from putting musical on their films for fear of limiting their audience pool, but I think this is a genre Hollywood should embrace and highlight.香蕉视频直播

The Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell romantic comedy 香蕉视频直播淎nyone But You,香蕉视频直播 a Sony release, is turning into a bit of a sleeper success as well, making nearly $7 million in its fourth weekend. By Monday, its domestic total should be around $56.5 million. Universal and Illumination香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淢igration香蕉视频直播 rounded out the top five with $6.2 million in its fourth weekend.

Not everything landed this weekend, though. 香蕉视频直播 ,香蕉视频直播 a faith-based comedy/drama with a starry, ensemble cast including LaKeith Stanfield, Omar Sy, RJ Cyler, David Oyelowo, Alfre Woodard and Teyana Taylor is not off to a promising start. The Legendary Pictures release opened to an estimated $2.6 million from just over 2,000 locations.

Written and directed by the British singer-songwriter Jeymes Samuel (stage name The Bullitts), it was self-consciously styled after Golden Age biblical epics like 香蕉视频直播淭he Ten Commandments.香蕉视频直播 It has also gotten mixed reviews, with 68% on Rotten Tomatoes and a B CinemaScore.

The Walt Disney Co. sent its 2020 Pixar film 香蕉视频直播淪oul香蕉视频直播 to movie theaters this weekend as well, where it made $429,000 from 1350 locations in North America. It香蕉视频直播檚 the first of several Pixar movies, including 香蕉视频直播淟uca香蕉视频直播 and 香蕉视频直播淭urning Red,香蕉视频直播 that Disney is bringing to theaters this winter after all had streaming-only releases on Disney+ during the pandemic.

Hollywood香蕉视频直播檚 awards season is also in full swing, and though many top contenders are already available to watch at home, some are still rolling out in theaters and hoping to capitalize on new nominations and awards shows like last weekend香蕉视频直播檚 Golden Globes. 香蕉视频直播淧oor Things,香蕉视频直播 which was a big winner, added $1.8 million from only 580 theaters. 香蕉视频直播淎ll of Us Strangers香蕉视频直播 took in $474,000 from 120 screens. 香蕉视频直播淎merican Fiction香蕉视频直播 expanded nationwide and made $1.9 million from 625 screens. 香蕉视频直播淭he Zone of Interest,香蕉视频直播 playing on 25 screens, also crossed $1 million.
