Box Office: Bob Marley ‘One Love’ Jams to Massive $51M Opening, ‘Madame Web’ Wipes Out at $25.8M

Paramount’s Bob Marley: One Love delivered a huge $50 million-plus domestic opening over the six-day Valentine’s Day-Presidents Day corridor, enough to crush Madame Web‘s $25.8 million start, a record worst for Sony’s superhero adventures.

Estimates show One Love racking in $51.1 million for the six days domestically, including $33.2 million for the four-day Presidents Day weekend and a record $14 million on Valentine’s Day (rival studios say the decision to go out on sweetheart’s day day was a smart choice in building momentum). The movie’s weekend debut is on par with the starts of such musical biopics as Rocketman or Elvis, and did almost double the business it was tracking to do.

Overseas, One Love earned an impressive $29 million for a global launch of $80 million against a $70 million budget. The film opened at No. 1 in 13 markets and set new opening day records for a music biopic in the U.K., France and other territories. In Jamaica, the film set the record for the biggest film opening of all time.

One Love director Reinaldo Marcus Green’s depiction of the iconic Jamaican musician and Rastafarian stars newcomer Kingsley Ben-Adir. It chronicles Marley making his 1977 album Exodus and the events of the next several years, including an assassination attempt and his belief that music could heal his nation in its post-colonial era. The movie’s producers include Marley’s children Ziggy and Cedella, and his wife, Rita.

Filmmaker Ziggy Marley said in a statement: “My family and I are honored with the amazing response to Bob Marley: One Love. Like my father’s music, this movie is meant for the people and his message of peace, love and unity is clearly connecting with audiences around the world. We thank the people for embracing this film and in so doing helping to highlight the message of one love.”

The biopic is playing to an ethnically diverse audience; Black moviegoers made up 40 percent of Friday ticket buyers, followed by Latinos (25 percent), Caucasians (23 percent), Asians (5 percent) and Native Americans/Others (7 percent), according to PostTrak. Females made up 56 percent of the audience.

Sony’s Madame Web $25.8 opening includes a four-day gross of $17.6 million. Either way, it is the worst start for a Sony film featuring Spide-Man related characters (the Dakota Johnson-starring film is not considered part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe). Madame Web got bashed by critics and audiences alike. Its ranking on Rotten Tomatoes hovers around 13 percent, while moviegoers slapped it with a C+ CinemaScore.

In past years, a superhero pic would generally be the safe bet to win a marquee holiday weekend, but times have changed as both DC and Marvel Studios regroup after a number of box office setbacks. Now, Sony is facing its own dilemma in regard to the Spider-Man universe of Marvel characters it controls, such as Venom and Morbius. The movie studio, under Tom Rothman’s tutelage, has spent far less on superhero fare than its rivals; Madame Web reportedly cost $80 million to make after production and tax incentives.

While the Venom movies have been considered a win, Morbius was also something of a bust. That film, released in 2022, opened to $39 million on its way to grossing $167 million. With Madam Web, Sony was proud to offer a female-fronted superhero film; femmes made up 46 percent or so of the audience, according to preliminary polling data.

Other weekend highlights: Fathom’s special theatrical offering of The Chosen: Season 4, Episodes 4-6 came in at No. 5 with an estimated $3.2 million for Friday through Sunday, putting its domestic total at nearly $20 million.

And, in a notable milestone, Warner Bros.’ Timothée Chalamet-led musical Wonka danced past the $600 million mark globally.

Box Office: Bob Marley’s ‘One Love’ Jams Past $120M Globally, ‘Madame Web’ and ‘Drive-Away Dolls’ Spin Out

Hollywood’s latest music biopic, Bob Marley: One Love, continues to jam at the global box office, where it crossed the $100 million mark on Friday, including $61.4 million domestically and $39.7 million overseas after only 10 days in theaters.

The Paramount movie easily stayed atop this weekend’s domestic box office chart with an estimated $13.5 million from 3,597 locations, pushing its domestic tally to $72.2 million. Marley’s star also continues to shine brightly overseas, where it has amassed $49.4 million for global cume of $120.6 million.

One Love first starting making headlines last week, when it snagged a six-day launch of $51.1 million over the Valentine’s Day-Presidents Day corridor, one of the best openings ever for a music biopic (Straight Outta Compton remains top of the list), and remained well ahead of the dismal $26 million debut of Sony’s doomed Madame Web.

Madame Web continues to spin out of control. The female-led superhero pic grossed a mere $5.6 million from from 4,013 theaters in its sophomore outing, possibly only good enough for a fifth-place finish. The news is just as bad overseas, where the film has earned $42 million for a worldwide gross of $87.3 million.

The latest installment in the Japanese anime series, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba — to the Hashira Training, from Crunchyroll and Sony, placed No. 2 with an impressive $11.7 million from 1,949 locations.

Ordinary Angels, a faith-based film from Lionsgate starring Hillary Swank, followed with estimated $6.5 million from 3,020 cinemas after earning a coveted A+ CinemaScore from audiences. If that holds, Madame Web will fall to No. 5.

Focus Features and Working Title’s specialty film Drive-Away Dolls, which Ethan Coen of the Coen brothers fame directed on his own from a script he wrote with his wife Tricia Cooke, is also spinning out. The lesbian road-trip comedy — slapped with a C CinemaScore —opened to an estimated $2.4 million from 2,280 locations despite a star-studded cast that includes Margaret Qualley, Geraldine Viswanathan, Beanie Feldstein, Pedro Pascal and Matt Damon.

Generally speaking, a specialty title — such as a Coen brothers’ movie — has a small footprint to begin with before platforming. Focus and the filmmakers took a different route and decided to open Drive-Away Girls everywhere in hopes of helping exhibitors who have seen a dramatic slowdown in product throughout January and February. Alas, moviegoers don’t appear to be going along for the ride, though it could spark interest on premium VOD.

Overall domestic box office revenue has been down sharply in January and February due to a lack of product related to strike delays. The landscape should improve on March 1 when Warner Bros. and Legendary open Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two, starring Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya. Warner Bros. has begun screening the year’s first tentpole in earnest, and Dune 2 currently sports a 97 percent Rotten Tomatoes critics score from just under 150 reviews.

That’s not to say there haven’t been wins, including One Love and fellow Paramount pic Mean Girls. There just haven’t been any all-audience tentpoles. On the specialty side, Searchlight’s Oscar contender Poor Things has been a notable win for the art house side of the business and should cross the $100 million globally this week to become the second most successful specialty pic of the post-pandemic era, behind Everything Everywhere All at Once.

Oscar contender American Fiction‘s domestic tally is nearing $20 million for Amazon and MGM Studios. On the commercial side Amazon/MGM’s The Beekeeper has buzzed to $63 million-plus domestically and remains in the top 10.

Box Office: ‘Dune 2’ Delivering $75M-Plus Domestic Opening, Could Climb Higher

Warner Bros. and Legendary’s Dune: Part Two has wasted no time in proving its potential earning power at the box office.

Denis Villeneuve’s sequel — sporting an A-list cast led by Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya — posted an opening day gross of $32.1 million at Friday’s North American box office, including $12 million in previews. That puts the movie on course to open to at least $72 million to $75 million, more than double the first film ($40 million) and the top start of the year to date.

Rival studios believe Dune 2 could open to $77 or $78 million; either way, it’s a needed jolt for the box office and the sci-fi genre, which can be a tough sell. Dune 2 sports stellar reviews and nabbed an A CinemaScore, versus an A- for the first. Rivals were even more bullish on Friday in suggesting $80 million-plus.

Dune 2 is also debuting in 71 markets overseas this weekend and is likewise doing well in markets where it opened midweek.

Heading into the weekend, tracking suggested Dune 2 would launch domestically to $74 million. Warners, however, remained more conservative in sticking with $65 million domestically and $75 million overseas.

After enduring one of the worst early winters in years (outside of the pandemic), theaters are banking on the movie to usher in a steady stream of event fare that was delayed by last year’s labor strikes. Year-to-date, the box office is running 18 percent behind last year and more than 38 percent behind 2019.

Theaters were none too happy when Legendary decided to delay the movie’s release from last fall to now so that Chalamet and Zendaya would be available to publicize the movie and help broaden out the audience (both have sway with younger viewers) but are certain to forgive and forget if Dune 2 becomes a water-cooler sensation.

The high-profile cast also includes series newcomers Austin Butler, Florence Pugh and Christopher Walken, joining Rebecca Ferguson, Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgard, Dave Bautista and Charlotte Rampling.

The long game, versus opening weekend, will be the true test for Villeneuve’s sequel in terms of solidifying a new franchise for Legendary. Villeneuve is keen on making one one more film, Dune: Messiah, while Warners has a spinoff series, Dune: Prophecy, due out on Max later this year.

Dune grossed more than $402 million at the worldwide box office — a solid and promising number considering the pressures of the pandemic and the film’s day-and-date streaming release — but the filmmakers have far bigger expectations for the follow up.

Dune 2‘s Thursday preview number was also more than double the $5.1 million grossed in previews by Dune in 2021, although that movie was hobbled both by the pandemic and the decision to debut it simultaneously on HBO Max (now known as simply Max). Overall, was the strongest preview showing since Barbie racked up $22.3 million in July 2023. That same weekend, Oppenheimer started off with $10.5 million in previews on its way to a domestic debut of $82.5 million (Barbie rocketed to $162 million).

The preview gross includes $1 million tacked on from an earlier Imax fan event, while Imax screens turned in a huge $4.5 million of the total preview gross.

• Dune: Part Two wins the weekend with an estimated $81.5 million domestically.
• Denis Villeneuve's sci-fi sequel also becomes the highest-grossing worldwide moneymaker of 2024.

Box Office: ‘Kung Fu Panda 4’ Lands Victorious $58.3M U.S. Opening; ‘Dune 2’ Nears $370M Worldwide

Jack Black‘s Po is back after nearly a decade, and he’s already receiving a hero’s welcome from audiences.

Kung Fu Panda 4 opened to a stellar $58.3 million domestically, well ahead of expectations and a near-series best in a win for the family marketplace, as well as for DreamWorks Animation and parent company Universal (the studio behind Sunday’s Academy Awards frontrunner Oppenheimer). The only other Kung Fu Panda installment to open higher was the first one in 2008 with $62 million, not adjusted for inflation.

Along with Black, returning members of the Kung Fu Panda 4 voice cast include Dustin Hoffman as Kung Fu master Shifu, James Hong as Po’s adoptive father, Bryan Cranston as Po’s birth father Li and Ian McShane as Shifu’s former student and arch-nemesis.

Series newcomers include Viola Davis as a tiny lizard and shapeshifting sorceress and Awakawfina as a quick-witted thief whom Po needs in order to protect their world. Ke Huy Quan also joins the franchise as a criminal leader named Han. The film boasts an A- CinemaScore from audiences and strong PostTrak exits.

Kung Fu Panda 4 is directed by Mike Mitchell, who also helmed Trolls and Shrek Forever After.

All eyes are also on Denis Villeneueve’s Dune: Part Two to see how it holds up in its second outing. The Legendary and Warner Bros. sci-fi epic opened last weekend to a stellar $82.5 million domestically and finished Thursday with a North American tally of more than $110 million and $200 million globally.

Heading in into Oscar weekend, box office pundits believed Dune 2 could earn $40 million or so in its second outing; it earned $46 million, thanks in part to keen demand for higher-priced Imax and other premium large-format screens. Overseas, its foreign tally hit $210 million after landing in China. The estimated global cume is $376.5 million.

Lionsgate and Blumhouse’s Imaginary also entered the mix and opened to a pleasing $10 million. The story follows a young woman (DeWanda Wise) who moves back to her childhood home, where her youngest stepdaughter (Pyper Braun) develops an eerie attachment to a stuffed bear named Chauncey she finds in the basement. The film is directed by Jeff Wadlow, who also produces alongside Jason Blum. It earned a C- CinemaScore, which is not unusual for horror.

Cabrini, the latest offering from Angel Studios, the Utah-based production and crowd-sourcing company that was home to summer 2023 sleeper hit Sound of Freedom, opened to a modest $7.6 million. Angel’s series and movies are often infused with faith-based stories or themes.

In regards to Oscar-nominated films, many of the movies vying for top honors are already available in the home, but some could still see an uptick at the box office. If Christopher Nolan and Universal’s Oppenheimer wins best picture, it will make box office history by becoming the highest-grossing movie to win the prize since the final The Lord of the Rings in 2004. Oppenheimer has earned nearly $960 million in worldwide ticket sales.

Box Office: ‘Kung Fu Panda 4,’ ‘Dune 2’ Lead Weekend as New Entries Lack Bite

Kung Fu Panda 4 and Dune: Part Two are still going strong at the box office, with both movies celebrating milestones this weekend.

From DreamWorks Animation and Universal, the Jack Black-voiced Kung Fu 4 is expected to top the chart with an estimated $31.5 million-plus from 4,067 theaters as it leaps past the $100 million mark to finish Sunday with a pleasing 10-day domestic total of roughly $109.4 million, based on Friday and early Saturday grosses (numbers for all films could shift by Sunday). The pic is looking at a respectable decline of 46 percent.

Not far behind is Denis Villeneuve’s Dune 2, now in its third weekend. The Legendary-Warner Bros tentpole is the first release of 2024 to clear $200 million domestically. The pic is expected to gross around $29 million from 3,847 cinemas for the weekend, putting its North American cume north of $205 million through Sunday.

New offerings this weekend include feel-good canine adventure drama Arthur the King, featuring an ensemble cast led by Mark Wahlberg. The Lionsgate and eOne film is opening on the low end of expectations with around $8 million from 3,003 cinemas. Tracking had suggested $10 million or more, but the film’s backers believe an A CinemaScore from audiences will result in long legs.

Simu Liu, Juliet Rylance, Nathalie Emmanuel, Ali Suliman, Paul Guilfoyle, and real-life adventure racer and TV host Bear Grylls, who plays himself, round out the cast. The film follows a pro adventure racer (Wahlberg) who forms an unbreakable bond with a dog named Arthur after he and his team travel 435 miles over 10 days.

Lionsgate is also taking the fourth spot on the chart with Blumhouse’s supernatural horror pic Imaginary, which is on course to gross $5.2 million or from 3,118 cinemas in its sophomore outing for a 10-day cume of $18.1 million. The film’s decline is a scant 42 percent.

Coming in No. 5 is Angel Studio’s faith-themed Cabrini, which is falling off a steep 62 percent in its second weekend. The biographical drama about a real-life 18th-century Catholic missionary is on course to gross an estimated $2.7 million from 2,850 theaters for a 10-day domestic tally of $12 million. Angel Studios is also home to Monteverde’s 2023 surprise blockbuster and cultural sensation Sound of Freedom.

The forecast is even worse for Focus Features’ The American Society of Magical Negroes, the weekend’s other new wide offering after Arthur the King. The specialty film is expected to place No. 14 with an estimated $1.25 million from 1,143 theaters. It tells the tale of a young man who was recruited into a secret society of magical Black people who dedicate their lives to a cause of utmost importance: making white people’s lives easier.

Directed by Kobi Libii, American Society of Magical Negroes stars Justice Smith, David Alan Grier, An-Li Bogan, Drew Tarver, Michaela Watkins, Rupert Friend and Nicole Byer.

Focus can take solace in last weekend’s Oscars support for The Holdovers. The Alexander Payne-directed movie was up for multiple top awards, including best picture, with Da’Vine Joy Randolph winning for best supporting actress.

Among other top award contenders, Oppenheimer‘s Oscars sweep prompted Warners to rerelease Christopher Nolan’s movie in more than 1,300 theaters domestically. Rereleases don’t generally generate huge grosses — exceptions include Avatar — and Oppenheimer looks to earn roughly $333K for the weekend. The film, readily available to stream on Peacock and Max, is the top-grossing best picture Oscar winner in 20 years after amassing nearly $959 million at the global box office. It’s unlikely, however, that it will be able to clear $1 billion even with this rerelease.

‘Godzilla x Kong: New Empire’ Roars to Monstrous $80M Box Office Opening, $194M Globally

Enemies-turned-frenemies proved to be just what the Easter weekend box office needed.

Warner Bros. and Legendary’s Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire opened to a monstrous $80 million at the domestic box office, well ahead of an expected $45 million to $55 million. The tentpole scored the second-best opening in the MonsterVerse Universe, no small feat for a fifth film in a franchise. It also delivered the fifth biggest Easter opening of all time, according to Sunday estimates.

Globally, the film stomped to a $194 million launch after taking in $114 million overseas from 64 markets — including an impressive $44 million in China, where Legendary East is handling the movie. These days, many Hollywood event pics don’t come close to doing that level of business in China (on Monday, it will pass up the $46.5 million earned by Dune: Part II to rank as the top-grossing Hollywood title of 2024). Godzilla x Kong opened to $12.8 million in Mexico, a franchise best, and delivered the studio’s biggest opening ever in India ($5.5 million). The movie also has a handful of major markets yet to open.

Many critics didn’t think highly of Godzilla x Kong, but audiences disagreed, giving it an A- CinemaScore and 4.5 stars on PostTrack. It’s also playing to an ethnically diverse audience and all key age groups, another plus. In terms of gender, males are buying more than 67 percent of tickets, while 62 percent were ages 35 and under.

“This is certainly an exciting result,” says Mary Parent, chairman of worldwide production for Legendary. “The film does a great job for the core fans and succeeded in broadening the audience. It played to a new and younger audience.”

Adam Wingard returned to direct the tentpole, which stars Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry and Dan Stevens. This time around, the two mega-monsters decide to put aside their differences and face a mysterious force that threatens to destroy their planet.

Godzilla and Kong aren’t the only reason why WB and Legendary have reason to celebrate. Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two crossed the $600 million mark at the worldwide box office Friday, compared to $406 million globally for the first Dune.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire had no major competition to speak of, as Sony’s new Ghostbusters movie, which opened last weekend, fell 65 percent.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire placed No. 2 with $15.7 million for a domestic total of $73.5 million and a lackluster $108.5 million globally.

Dune II stayed squarely at No. 3 in its fifth outing despite losing most Imax and other premium screens to Godzilla x Kong (premium screens turned in a combined 48 percent of the opening weekend gross for Godzilla; motion 4D screens were a particular favorite).

Domestically, Dune II grossed $11.1 million for a cume of $252.4 million, while overseas it took in another $18.4 million from 73 markets for a foreign tally of $373.7 million and $626.1 million globally.

Universal and DreamWorks Animation’s Kung Fu Panda 4 also remained a winner in its fourth outing, placing No. 4 with $10.2 million for a domestic tally of $151.7 million and $347.3 million domestically.

Universal’s Oscar victor Oppenheimer — which centers on the creation of the atomic bomb the U.S. dropped on Japan to end World War II — finally opened in Japan. It earned $2.6 million, the biggest opening of the year to date among Hollywood titles. That’s also ahead of most of director Christopher Nolan’s other films.

Back in North America, Neon’s Immaculate rounded out the top five on the domestic chart with $3.3 million its second weekend for a domestic cume of $11 million.

Among new offerings at the specialty box office, Sony Pictures Classics’ Wicked Little Letters, starring Olivia Colman, posted a solid per-theater average of $17,588 when launching in five cinemas.

Box Office: Alex Garland’s ‘Civil War’ Opens No. 1 With History-Making $25.7M for A24

Alex Garland‘s dystopian action movie Civil War conquered the domestic box office this weekend with $25.7 million, ahead of expectations and scoring A24’s biggest opening ever.

The $50 million movie about a divided America is a big swing for A24 as it tries to produce bigger movies, marking its most expensive production to date.

There are clearly split feelings about the film. Moviegoers only bestowed it with a B- CinemaScore, while PostTrack exits were mixed. The movie’s audience skewed skewed heavily male, or 73 percent. Imax runs are a boon for the movie, and contributed more that 16 percent of the gross.

The story follows a wartime photojournalist (Kirsten Dunst) and her colleagues as they make their way across a hostile United States of America that has been torn apart under the authoritarian rule of a three-term president (Nick Offerman).

Yet the film shies away from red state/blue state divisions, and the politics behind the conflict are generally left unexplained, other than to say that one of the president’s first actions was to disband the FBI in an apparent nod to former President Donald Trump, who has called to “defund” the Bureau.

Civil War‘s timing surely isn’t a coincidence, as it hits cinemas amid a contentious election year in which President Biden and former President Trump are once again the leading candidates for their respective parties and Trump seeks to return to the White House.

At a SXSW panel following the film’s premiere, Garland said it made sense to release Civil War now, although it’s not as if there is anything new about the contentious political discourse gripping the country.

With males flocking to see Civil War, Dev Patel’s action-laden pic Monkey Man met an unhappy fate in its second weekend, tumbling to No. 6 with $4 million for a 10-day domestic total of $17.6 million. It earned another $1.3 million overseas from 27 markets for a global total of $22.8 million. Universal is releasing the movie via its deal with Jordan Peele’s Monkey Paw Productions.

Warner Bros. and Legendary’s hit movie Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire stayed a strong No. 3 in its third outing, grossing $15.5 million for a domestic total of $157.9 million and $436.6 million globally.

After that, grosses fell off notably, leaving year-to-date domestic revenue down 16 percent.

Sony’s Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire placed No. 3 in its fourth weekend with $5.8 million for a domestic total of $96.9 million and $160 million globally.

Now in its seventh weekend, Legendary and Warners’ Dune: Part 2 earned $4.3 million for a domestic cume of of $272.3 million and massive global haul of $683.9 million. Thanks to Dune 2 and Godzilla, Warners is the first Hollywood studio of the year to clear the $1 billion mark at the international box office.
