Sony's animated film "GOAT" successfully stood its ground against Warner Bros' R-rated period romance "Wuthering Heights" and knocked it off the top spot, reversing places after just one week in theaters. Meanwhile, new releases that included the faith-based biopic "I Can Only Imagine 2" and the darkly comic thriller "How to Make a Killing" starring Glen Powell performed below expectations. Baz Luhrmann's concert film "EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert", however, performed very well in limited release. The slaher horror film "Psycho Killer" opened outside the Top 10.
Read more about the weekend box office after the jump.
Last week's #2 movie "GOAT" moved into first place in its sophomore weekend with $16.8 million, after dropping just 38%. The film has grossed $58.1 million domestically, so far, and another $44 million, which adds up to a total of $102.1 million worldwide. The film's budget is estimated at $90 million. Still a long way to go before breaking even.
After dominating the box-office in its debut, "Wuthering Heights" dropped to second place in its second frame with $14 million. That's a steep 57.3% drop, as the film continues to underperform. Domestically, it has raked in $59.8 million, but internationally it's doing much better, adding another $92.3 million for a global cume of $152.1 million against a $80 million budget. If it keeps this pace up, it should at least be able to recoup its budget and marketing costs in a week or two. But it won't make much of a profit.
The faith-based biographical sequel "I Can Only Imagine 2" opened in third place with $7.7 million from 3,105 theaters. It's not a great start, especially considering the first film opened with $17.1 million in 2018 and went on to gross $83.4 million domestically. Overseas earnings for these kinds of films are usually negligible. At least it's not an expensive movie, with a reported budget of around $18 million, but it would still need around $30 million to break even. The film received mixed reviews from critics (61% on Rotten Tomatoes), but audiences enjoyed it ("A+" CinemaScore).
The heist thriller "Crime 101" is not doing well at all. After a weak debut last week, in its sophomore weekend it dropped 61.4% and grossed only $5.5 million, which brings its domestic total to $24.4 million. Internationally it adds only $21.4 million for a global total of $45.8 million against a $90 million budget. Amazon MGM Studios will definitely take a loss on this one.
The Top 5 is rounded out by Sam Raimi's "Send Help" with $4.4 million. The movie dropped 50.5% in its fourth weekend and has now grossed a total of $55.4 million in North America, and another $27.5 million from foreign markets. That's a worldwide total of $82.9 million against a $40 million budget. Solid performance for a genre flick.
The black comedy thriller "How to Make a Killing" stubmled in its debut, finishing in sixth place with $3.5 million from 1,625 theaters. Another misstep for Glen Powell following "The Running Man" debacle last November. The film cost $15 million to produce. Reviews for the film were mixed-to-negative (46% on Rotten Tomatoes).
In seventh place we find the concert film "EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert" directed by Baz Luhrmann, which opened with $3.2 million from only 325 theaters. The follow-up to Luhrmann's biopic "Elvis" was released exclusively in IMAX theaters for one week. It will be released on normal screens on February 27th. Overseas it grossed another $2 million. The documentary had a budget of $11 million.
In other news, the R-rated horror thriller "Psycho Killer" made its debut outside the Top 10 with $1.6 million from 1,100 theaters. It cost less than $10 million to produce. The film was mauled by critics (10% on Rotten Tomatoes).
