Grey Drops, While Kingsman Holds for Second

Posted on by

fifty shadesIt shouldn’t be a shock, but Fifty Shades of Grey dropped a lot in its second week of release, but still earned enough to stay on top of the box office. The film dropped almost 73%, but still brought in an estimated $23.2 million to bring its two week total to $130.1 million. The movie’s decline is the second highest for a film playing in more than 3,100 locations.

The first comic adaptation of the year, Kingsman: The Secret Service held on to second place, bringing in an estimated $17.5 million. The film so far as brought in $67.1 million. The film has also earned $86.4 million in foreign markets to bring its total to $153.5 million. The film’s estimated budget was $81 million.

Big Hero 6 continues to earn, bringing in an additional $553,000 in its 16th week. The film has earned $220.2 million domestically, and globally $546.2 million. The movie’s blu-ray/dvd release is this week, so it’ll be interesting to see if its earnings drop the following weekend.

Grey Brings in Green. Kingsman Makes Bank. Jupiter Descends.

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.

Big Hero 6 continued to earn at the box office bringing in $694,000 and bringing its domestic total to $219.3 million.
