In the Ryan Reynolds-Blake Lively box-office showdown, both husband and wife came out winners.
Reynolds香蕉视频直播� Marvel Studios smash remained the top movie in North American theaters for the third straight week with $54.2 million in ticket sales according to studio estimates Sunday. Worldwide, it香蕉视频直播檚 now surpassed $1 billion. 香蕉视频直播淒eadpool & Wolverine,香蕉视频直播� though, was closely followed by the romance drama starring Lively, which surpassed expectations with a stellar $50 million debut.
Together, the films created a kind of family edition of in which a pair of very different movies thrived in part due to counterprogramming. Only this time, the opposite movies were fronted by one of Hollywood香蕉视频直播檚 most famous couples. The films香蕉视频直播� one-two punch wasn香蕉视频直播檛 entirely unprecedented. In 1990, Bruce Willis香蕉视频直播� 香蕉视频直播淒ie Hard 2香蕉视频直播� led the box office while Demi Moore香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淕host香蕉视频直播� came in second.
The weekend also featured a high-priced flop. the long-delayed $120-million videogame adaptation directed by Eli Roth, launched with a paltry $8.8 million for Lionsgate. The film, starring Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart and Jack Black, was shot all the way back in 2021. After delays and reshoots, it finally landed in theaters effectively dead-on-arrival; it scored just 10% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and seems likely contend for one of the worst movies of the year.
Meanwhile, 香蕉视频直播淒eadpool & Wolverine,香蕉视频直播� which co-stars Hugh Jackman, continued its march through box-office records. The film, directed by Shawn Levy, is only the second R-rated movie to reach $1 billion, following In three weeks, it香蕉视频直播檚 already one of the most lucrative Marvel releases and trails only Disney香蕉视频直播檚 other 2024 smash, 香蕉视频直播淚nside Out香蕉视频直播� ($1.6 billion worldwide) among movies released this year.
Lively makes a cameo in 香蕉视频直播淒eadpool & Wolverine香蕉视频直播� but she both stars in and produced 香蕉视频直播淚t Ends With Us.香蕉视频直播� Adapted from the bestselling romance novel by Colleen Hoover, Lively stars as Lily Bloom, a Boston florist torn between two men, one from her present life (Justin Baldoni, who also directed the film) and another who was her first love (Brandon Sklenar).
香蕉视频直播淚t Ends With Us香蕉视频直播� cost a modest $25 million to produce, so it will turn a significant profit for co-financers Columbia Pictures and Wayfarer Studios. Like another female-skewing summer-release book adaptation from Sony, 香蕉视频直播淲here the Crawdads Sing,香蕉视频直播� 香蕉视频直播淚t Ends With Us香蕉视频直播� could hold well through the typically slower August box-office period. Audiences gave it an A- CinemaScore.
Reynolds and Lively occasionally played up the convergence of their movies. Earlier this week, Reynolds posted a video of himself posing junket questions to Sklenar. The timing paid off especially for Lively, whose film doubled earlier opening-weekend forecasts.
