Him Fumbles but Wins the Weekend Box Office

Posted on by
Him

Update: The adjusted box office was quite different from the initial report:

  1. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie – Infinity Castle – $17.3 million
  2. Him – $13.3 million
  3. The Conjuring: Last Rites – $12.3 million
  4. Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale – $6.4 million
  5. The Long Walk – $6.2 million

Him opened up this past weekend taking the top of the box office, but also debuting with one of the worst openings of the year to top the box office. The film grossed an estimated $13.5 million. That’s the third lowest top of the box office this year, Novocaine holds that title with just $8.8 million. Flight Risk was second with $11.6 million. Internationally, the film grossed just $362,000 but that’s not shocking, it’s a football film which is very much an American sport still (though making pushes abroad). Worldwide, the movie grossed $13.9 million. The film’s budget is just $27 million, so it’s not a complete disaster yet but with brutal reviews from critics and a poor reception from the audience, this is one that might have to rely on its post box office to determine success.

The Conjuring: Last Rites held on to second place with just under $13 million to bring its domestic gross to $151.2 million. Internationally, the movie grossed $151 million over the week to bring that to $248.8 million for a worldwide gross of just under $400 million.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie – Infinity Castle slipped to third place with $11.9 million to bring its domestic gross to $99.3 million. Over the week, it grossed $167.3 million to bring its international gross to $450.3 million for a worldwide gross of $555 million.

Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale dropped one spot to fourth with $6.3 million bringing its domestic gross to $31.6 million. Internationally, it has grossed $27.9 million for a worldwide gross of $59.5 million.

The Long Walk rounded out the top five with $6.3 million as well (so fourth and fifth might shift around when final numbers are released). It has now grossed $22.7 million domestically. Internationally, the movie has grossed $2.8 million for a worldwide gross of $25.6 million.

In other comic related movies…

The Fantastic Four: First Steps grossed an estimated $582,000 to bring its domestic total to $273.5 million. Over the week, it grossed $1.7 million to bring its international total to $246.4 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $519.9 million.

Superman grossed $100,000 domestically to lift its domestic gross to just under $354 million. It remained at $261.2 million internationally and worldwide the movie has grossed $615.2 million.

Smurfs remained at $31.1 million domestically. Internationally, the movie has added $1.3 million over the week and has grossed $89 million. Worldwide, the gross is $120.1 million.

On the edge of comic related films, The Toxic Avenger remained at $2.9 million domestically. Internationally, the movie gained a little and has now grossed $419,715 for a worldwide total of $3.3 million and increase about about $100,000.

Overall, the weekend box office saw a total of 68 films gross $73,675,784 from 37,310 theaters compared to last weekend’s $147,347,407 from 77 films and 36,687 theaters. This weekends average was $1,974.69 compared to last weekend’s $4,016.34.
