Dark Tower Barely Wins a Soft Weekend at the Box Office

Posted on by

Despite lots of anticipation and a good marketing push, Sony‘s The Dark Tower opened weakly barely winning the weekend box office in the softest weekend at the domestic box office since early April.

The film opened with an estimated $19.5 million domestically and $8 million at the foreign box office. With a budget of just $60 million that’s not horrible, but it’s also not that great. The film was to kick off a multi-platorm franchise but with an opening such as this one has to wonder how that might change. The film is the second largest opening for a Stephen King adaptation.

Dark Tower has just 18% on RottenTomatoes and received a “B” CinemaScore. It was mostly male with 58% and 68% were over the age of 25.

In a close second place was Dunkirk which added $17.6 million to its domestic total dropping just 34% in its third weekend. It now has a domestic total of $133.6 million and has earned $314.2 million worldwide so far.

In third place was The Emoji Movie which added $12.35 million to its domestic total with a 50% drop. It has earned $49.5 million domestically and $62.2 million worldwide.

Girls Trip is a trip folks want to take coming in fourth place and dropping just 42% in its third weekend. The film added $11.4 million to its total and stands at $85.4 million. The film is outpacing Bridesmaid so should wind up doing a bit better than that film when it’s theatrical run is over.

Rounding out the top five was Kidnap which brough in $10.2 million. It received a “B+” CinemaScore with an audience 63% female and 73% over the age of 25.

When it comes to comic adaptations….

Spider-Man: Homecoming came in sixth place adding $8.8 million to its total to bring it to $294.9 million domestically. Worldwide the film has earned $670.9 million which still has it dead last when it comes to worldwide earnings but it’s fourth when it comes to domestic (not adjusted for inflation).

Atomic Blonde dropped to seventh place just behind Spidey adding $8.2 million to its total to bring its domestic cume to $34.1 million on a $30 million budget. Worldwide the film has earned $45.8 million.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets continues to struggle adding $2.4 million to its domestic total. So far its earned $36.1 million and worldwide it has earned just $65.6 million on a $177.2 million budget.

Wonder Woman added $2.4 million to its total to bring its domestic total to $399.5 million. The film has also earned $393.9 million at the foreign box office for a worldwide total of $793.4 million.

Finally, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 added $445,000 to its domestic total to bring that to $388.4 million. Worldwide the film has earned $861.3 million.

We’ll be back in an hour to take a deeper dive into how comic adaptations are doing at the box office in 2017.

Official Press Release

Michael Lark Draws The DARK TOWER Into THE BATTLE OF TULL

This June, acclaimed artist and Eisner Award nominee Michael Lark (Daredevil, Gotham Central) joins the superstar writing team of Peter David & Robin Furth for Dark Tower: The Gunslinger – The Battle Of Tull #1 (of 5). Lark joins the acclaimed team of Peter David, Robin Furth and Richard Isanove in the select group of creators entrusted by Stephen King himself to bring the adult adventures of his most personal creation to life in Dark Tower: The Gunslinger – The Battle Of Tull! Longtime fans and newcomers alike are sure to be amazed as Lark’s take on the grit and grandeur of Mid-World this June with an outright merciless tale that sets in motion the fateful journey of Roland Deschain.

“I have nothing but respect and admiration for Stephen King and the chance to work on the Dark Tower is a wonderful privilege,” said Lark. “I only hope that I can come close to conveying his vision – a daunting task, but a challenge that I’m enjoying tremendously. It has allowed me to explore the darker aspects of my art and really start pushing some of the boundaries of my own style. And who doesn’t love drawing cowboys and horses?!”

The Man in Black has lured Roland to a barren saloon town and, once there, he’ll realize than even a stone cold killer is no match for the horrors of the Dark Tower! Why does a dead man still walk the streets of Tull and, why are this town’s living, breathing citizens a far greater threat? The baddest man in Mid-World is about to find out that the true price of his quest can only be paid in spent shells and innocent blood this June in Dark Tower: The Gunslinger – The Battle Of Tull #1 (of 5)!
