Cinderella is Magical in First, Kingsman Holds Strong

Posted on by

cinderella-2015-poster-691x1024Cinderella was the top movie the past weekend, earning an estimated $70.1 million in its first weekend. The movie had a similar opening to other live-action adaptations of Disney classics (so I’d expect more down the road). The movie had a reported budget of $95 million.

The movie attracted an audience that was 66% female and 66% families. It also earned an “A” Cinemascore, so expect it to do quite well over the month.

In comic adaptation news, Kingsman: The Secret Service continues to do well earning an additional $6.2 million to bring its domestic total to $107.4 million. Globally the film has earned $276.7 million, well above its $81 million budget.

Big Hero 6 brought in an additional $226,000 to brings its total to $221.7 million after 19 weeks. Globally the film has earned $632.8 million with a budget of $165 million.

kingsman-the-secret-serviceIn what was considered a weak weekend at the box-office, Kingsman: The Secret Service held on to second place bringing in an estimated $11.75 million. The film has been in third place for all three weekends its been in theaters.

The film has earned $85.7 million domestically. It’s also earned $124.1 million in the foreign box-office to bring its total so far to $209.8 million. The movie’s estimated budget is $81 million, so it’s doing well, especially for a movie adapted from a pretty unknown comic series by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons, and published by the Marvel Comics imprint Icon.

In its post Oscar win, Big Hero 6 continues to earn at the box-office bringing in an estimated $523,000. The film has earned $220.9 million domestically. Globally the film has earned $572.2 million after 17 weeks in the theater. It also had its blu-ray/dvd hit shelves this past week, but the film’s earning hasn’t dropped much compared to last week.

The movie’s decline is the second highest for a film playing in more than 3,100 locations.

fifty shadesThe movie was savaged by critics and as of this writing has a 26% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but that didn’t stop folks from flocking to see Fifty Shades of Grey this past weekend. The film earned an estimated $81.67 million at the box office, which is almost more than the next three films combined.

The film’s success is most likely attributed to smart timing, having it open up on Valentine’s Day weekend, which surely upped the “date night” audience it saw. Men accounted for 32% of the audience at the movie, while they don’t come close to even 1% of the folks who like either the movie or the book on Facebook. Expect its earnings to drop this coming weekend.

The first “comic book” adaptation of the year, Kingsman: The Secret Service opened up this past weekend, earning an estimated $35.6 million. As of this writing the film was well received with a 71% approval on Rotten Tomatoes and B+ Cinemascore.

Jupiter Ascending continued to tank coming in fifth and earning $9.43 million.
