- One of Them Days (review)- $11.6M
It was a win for comedy this week as One of Them Days, starring Keke Palmer, SZA, and Katt Williams, had more bite than Wolf Man at the box office. The female-led laugher scored higher than analyst projections and could be in for a Girls Trip-style run as reviews have been positive overall, hitting over 90% on Rotten Tomatoes with critics and audiences.
2. Mufasa: The Lion King– $11.5M/$205.8M
Trailing close behind was Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King, which crossed the $200M domestic mark after five weeks. Worldwide the prequel has $591M total.
3. Wolf Man (review)- $10.5M
Universal and Blumhouse hoped to match the success of The Invisible Man, but instead Wolf Man was defanged at the box office with just $10.5M. For comparison, this is way below the $31M launch of that awful Benicio Del Toro-led The Wolfman in 2010. A big reason is that the reviews just weren’t very good, with only 53% of critics and 59% of audiences digging it on Rotten Tomatoes.
4. Sonic the Hedgehog 3– $8.6M/$216.4M
5. Den of Thieves 2: Pantera– $6.6M/$26.1M
Taking a big hit and falling out of first place was Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, which dropped 56% for just $6.6M. Worldwide the heist sequel has $32M after two weeks.
6. Moana 2– $6M/$442.7M
After eight weeks, Disney’s Moana 2 has officially joined the $1B billion club.
7. Nosferatu– $4.3M/$89.4M
Once considered to be a niche project, Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu has hit $155M worldwide, surpassing the $138M global haul of Smile 2. Impressive.
8. A Complete Unknown– $3.7M/$57.5M
9. Wicked– $3.5M/$464.5M
10. Babygirl– $2M/$25.3M
