X-Men: Apocalypse Leads the Box Office in a Soft Weekend

Posted on by

X-Men Apocalypse PosterX-Men: Apocalypse led the weekend earning $65 million. That was about the studio’s projections and the film should wind up in the $77 to $80 million range for the four-day holiday weekend. While the film met expectations, it falls very short of its predecessor. X-Men: Days of Future Past earned $30 million more when it opened two years ago. The film so far has also earned $185.8 million in foreign markets for a total of $250.8 million. Its budget was an estimated $178 million.

The film’s future should be interesting as it received an A- Cinemascore, and Rotten Tomatoes has it as 48% among critics and 74% from fans.

Alice Through the Looking Glass opened in second place earning an estimated $28.1 million. That’s $17 to $25 million less than projections and tracking. The film received brutal reviews.

Last week’s champ The Angry Birds Movie dropped to third with an estimated $18.7 million to bring its domestic total to $66.4 million.

Captain America: Civil War dropped to fourth after last weekend’s second place. The film added $15.1 million to bring its domestic total to $372.6 million. The film’s foreign earnings are $730.7 million to bring its total so far to $1.1 billion. It is now the top grossing film both domestically and internationally this year so far.

Warcraft opened in twenty foreign territories and finished in first in 19 of them. The film earned an estimated $31.6 million. The film opens in US theaters June 10.

Angry-Birds-final-quadThe Angry Birds Movie was top of the box office earning an estimated $39 million. That was more than enough to put the movie in first place. The film also earned $112 million in foreign markets to bring its total to $151 million. With a budget of $73 million, the animated film looks to be very profitable for Sony.

It bumped off Captain America: Civil War which dropped to second in its third week. The film earned $33.1 million. That had the film dropping a bit more than expected. The film has earned $347.4 million domestically and $706.1 million in foreign markets to bring its total to $1.053 billion. That makes it the first film of 2016 to cross the billion dollar mark.

Also opening this past weekend was Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising which came in third with $21.8 million. The film also earned $30 million in foreign markets to bring its total to $51.8 million. The domestic total is over 55% less than the original, and can only be considered a disappointment because of that. Also new was The Nice Guys which came in fourth and earned $11.3 million.

That dropped The Jungle Book to fifth with $11 million to bring its domestic total to $327.5 million and worldwide total to $857.7 million.

While Batman v Superman looks to be out of the theaters (though still gained some money over the week days), Deadpool added $120,000 to its domestic total and now stands at $763.1 million worldwide.

Next weekend sees the opening of X-Men: Apocalypse, but the film opened in foreign markets this past weekend. It debuted in 75 markets and brought in $103.3 million. Out of the 75 markets, the film was first place in 71 of them and had the largest opening for Fox in six of them. The opening number bests X-Men: Days of Future Past when you look at the same markets and factor in exchange rates. That film earned $100 million in the same markets. The film opens domestically this coming weekend, but faces tough competition with Disney’s Alice Through the Looking Glass.
