Dredd 3D Plummets

Posted on by

If you thought the opening weekend for Dredd 3D was a bad sign, then it’s second isn’t any better. The movie dropped out of the weekend top ten in it’s second week, earning just $2.28 million. So far Dredd has earned $10.865 million in North America.  In it’s second week that’s a drop of 63.7% and gained 51 theaters from it’s opening weekend.

The movie has earned $20,965,000 worldwide. The majority in the United States, interesting since the movie is a British property.

The movie cost $50 million and will have to hope for some amazing aftermarket numbers to make it’s budget back. With a positive word of mouth and good reviews, one wonders why this film didn’t click.

Dredd 3D bombed in it’s opening weekend, earning just $6.3 million from 2,506 theaters for an average of $2,514 per venue to take 6th place for the weekend. That’s pathetic, even compared to the Sylvester Stallone 1995 disaster that was Judge Dredd. That movie earned $12,291,536 it’s opening weekend and went on to earn $34,693,481 in the US and $113,493,481  worldwide.

Dredd 3D performed lower compared to it’s predecessor, even with higher ticket prices and the inclusion of 3D. The movie has earned decent reviews with a “B” Cinemascore and 77% approval on RottenTomatoes.

Stallone’s version came in 5th it’s opening weekend opening in 2,204 theaters a $5,576 average. Even with a strong marketing push by Lionsgate, the movie just didn’t find interest. We’ll see if it has legs, but I don’t see how it’s not quickly pulled from theaters.
