Box Office: ‘Bob Marley’ Wins The Week As ‘Ordinary Angels’ Outpaces ‘Drive-Away Dolls’

  1. Bob Marley: One Love– $13.5M/$71.1M

For the second week in a row, Bob Marley: One Love led the week in the face of soft competition. That will definitely come to an end when Dune: Part Two hits in a few days. The reggae legend’s biopic now has $120.5M worldwide.

2. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba – To the Hashira Training– $11.5M

3. Ordinary Angels (review)- $6.5M

A surprisingly mid start for Ordinary Angels, the Hilary Swank/Alan Ritchson faith-based drama from Kingdom Story, who are used to raking in at least twice this much in an opening weekend. The reviews were decent, but I’m going to guess the reason this didn’t perform better is because it doesn’t have obviously Christian actors (What, no Kevin Sorbo??) and no mention of Jesus in the title. Crazy that a little thing like that could have such an impact, but I think I’m right.

4. Madame Web– $6M/$35.4M

A generally good week for Sony with Demon Slayer scoring a big debut and Anyone But You surpassing $200M globally, is blemished a little by the second week of Madame Web. The Spidey spinoff fell another 61% and has just $77M worldwide.

5. Migration– $3M/$120.4M

6. Argylle– $2.8M/$41.6M

7. Wonka– $2.5M/$214.5M

8. Drive-Away Dolls (review)- $2.4M

Ethan Coen’s first shot out of the gate as a solo director after years of teaming with brother Joel was the queer crime caper, Drive-Away Dolls, and folks had no time for it. It’s easy to see why. The film has middling critic scores and not a lot of buzz for a movie that has been pushed in cinemas for months. But the cast of Margaret Qualley, Geraldine Viswanathan, and Beanie Feldstein aren’t box office draws, while cameos by Matt Damon and Pedro Pascal weren’t enough to attract buyers.

9. The Beekeeper– $1.9M/$63.1M

10. The Chosen: S4 Episodes 4-6– $1.8M/$7.8M
