It was a crowded weekend at the box office, with all four new releases finishing in the Top 5. The video game adaptation "Street Fighter" topped the charts, but didn't quite explode as expected. Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim's stranger-than-fiction documentary "You Can See Everything" had a shockingly solid debut, while the survival thriller "Whalefall" and the Jane Austen adaptation "Sense and Sensibility" are off to a modest start.
Read more about the weekend box office after the jump.
Paramount's PG-13 action film "Street Fighter" dominated the box office with $30.7 million from 3,575 theaters. It was certainly enough to win the weekend, but not so impressive if the film aims to make a profit. In fact, it's a lower debut than that of this year's R-rated "Mortal Kombat II", which opened with $38.5 million, and finished with $79.7 million domestically and $129.5 million domestically. That movie failed to make a profit due to its $80 million budget and marketing costs that pushed its break-even point to $150 million. "Street Fighter" has a budget of $85 million. Overseas it adds another $20.1 million from 65 international markets for a worldwide debut of $50.8 million. Next week will determine how this one will pan out, but it doesn't look good considering its mixed-to-negative reception from both critics and moviegoers (40% on Rotten Tomatoes and "B-" CinemaScore).
A24's three-hour documentary "You Can See Everything" has become something of a phenomenon. The film opened in second place with an astonishing $15.6 million from only 855 theaters, which is a crazy per-theater average of $18,247. The documentary, which focuses on Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, was expected to rake in around $7-8 million. "You Can See Everything" was produced in secret by A24 over the course of three years and cost around $7 million to produce. It now has the second highest non-fiction opening weekend behind 2004's "Fahrenheit 9/11" ($23.9 million on 868 screens), and one of the highest for any film opening in less than 1,000 theaters. The word-of-mouth on this one is absolutely insane, uniting both critics and audiences in a rare consensus (98% Tomatometer and 98% Popcornmeter on Rotten Tomatoes).
Last week's #1 movie, the Blumhouse horror film "Other Mommy", has fallen a steep 70.5% in its second weekend, finishing in third place with $8.2 million. It won't matter much, because the movie is already turning a decent profit. Domestically it has now grossed $44.7 million, while overseas it adds another $34.2 million for a worldwide total of $78.9 million against a $19 million budget. The Blumhouse formula strikes again !
The ambitious survival thriller "Whalefall" only managed a fourth place debut with $7.8 million from 3,065 theaters. It's not good news for the movie, which carries a hefty $60 million price tag. Internationally it only raked in another $9.6 million, which brings its worldwide total to $17.4 million. The critical reception was mostly positive (72% on Rotten Tomatoes), but moviegoers were mostly mixed on it ("B" CinemaScore).
The Top 5 is rounded out by the period romantic drama "Sense and Sensibility", which opened with $7.2 million from 2,545 theaters. Another modest start, but this movie has a much more conservative $25 million budget. It also raked in $11.3 million internationally, which brings its global cume to $18.5 million. Both the critical and audience reception have been positive (77% on Rotten Tomatoes and "A-" CinemaScore).
