Box office "Hustlers" in the lead with a record $ 13 million Friday, but the "Goldfinch" bombs

[ad_1]

<div _ngcontent-c15 = "" innerhtml = "

Hustlers (review) recorded the biggest single-day result in the (relatively) brief history of STX Entertainment. The dramatic comedy drama "inspired by a true story" by screenwriter / director Lorene Scafaria, which tells the story of a group of exotic dancers who cheated the affluent / wealthy male clientele of their club after the crash from Wall Street in 2008, reported $ 13.1 million Friday. This includes $ 2.5 million in Thursday's previews. Thursday's crude accounted for only 19% of its gross "opening day", which means (for the moment) that it plays closer to Girls' travel (an amount of $ 11.7 million Friday on a gross amount of $ 1.7 million Thursday) that Bad moms ($ 9.6 million Friday after a $ 2 million gross forecast on Thursday).

The film received mostly positive reviews, with a not inconsiderable share of the cover in Jennifer Lopez's return (this is the best material she has ever had) and a possible Oscar nominee in the Best Actress category in a second role (and more). If it comes out as Girls' travel Over the weekend (an opening weekend of $ 31.2 million after a $ 11.7 million Friday), we are planning an opening weekend of $ 35 million. dollars. If (comparatively) frontloads like Bad moms ($ 23.8 million out of $ 9.6 million on Friday), so he will still make $ 32 million on Sunday night. One or the other result would be spectacular for a comedy / drama valued at $ 20 million.

This will certainly be the biggest success of STX Entertainment, in front of the opening of $ 23.8 million for Bad moms in July 2016. More than $ 23.1 million (Monster-brother & nbsp;in 2005) actually Lopez's largest unadjusted real action opening. It should be just above / below the opening weekends of $ 29 to $ 33 million indexed for inflation. Made in Manhattan, Monster-of-law, the cell and Anaconda. Hustlers will mark a bigger start Friday-Sunday than that of Constance Wu Crazy Rich Asians ($ 26 million), with a Fri-Sun cume greater than the $ 33 million launch of the comunomobile over five days. This B-Cinemascore level concerns me, but most of the people I talked to (including my parents) liked it.

As Bad mothers, girls traveling & nbsp;and Ocean's 8, Hustlers & nbsp;It was / is an attractive programmer aimed at adult women and sold as an unqualified "party film" / escaped entertainment for underserved demographic data. & nbsp; This is not to say that the films lacked conflict or drama, either simply throwing caution in the wind and engaged in exaggerated escapades or triumphing effortlessly from the patriarchal systems that had caused them misery. & nbsp; This is a fundamental difference compared to others Agitated night or snatched, which presented scenarios where women trying to amuse themselves or move away from it all ran a serious danger or permanent danger.

Jennifer Lopez was a reliable draw when Hollywood bothered to give it a vehicle that the public wants to see, while the others (Constance Wu, Keke Palmer, Lili Reinhart, Cardi B. and Lizzo) got an interesting package. Each of them is at least quite known for a different project, be it a TV show or a musical career. They are all media friendly artists and were available to sell movie hell to their social media followers. I would be surprised if the film was not as popular with paying consumers as critics.

The only other big opening starting yesterday was The goldfinch (review). Director John Crowley and screenwriter Peter Straughan adapted Donna Tartt's acclaimed epic novel to untouched theaters, mostly negative Toronto critics and an extremely dramatic theatrical environment. The study / melodrama rated at $ 2.5 million and with a budget of $ 45 million is a perfect example of the kind of film that can not survive in an era of VOD / broadcast continuously, so I congratulate him on Warner Bros. and Amazon Studios (which got a lot of the budget in exchange for post-theatrical rights) for doing it anyway.

Friday $ 870,000 and a probable opening weekend of $ 2.52 million, which will be one of the worst debuts of all time for an output of more than 2,000 screens. The goldfinch is about a young man whose mother dies in an attack in a museum and how it shapes his life in adulthood. The film lacked stellar power, as his cast was filled with well-known actors (Ansel Elgort, Oakes Fegley, Nicole Kidman, Finn Wolfhard, Sarah Paulson, Luke Wilson, Jeffrey Wright) who were not ferocious. This is WB's third studio flop this month, alongside The kitchen ($ 15 million on a budget of $ 38 million) and Blinded by the light ($ 11 million / $ 15 million).

The three deserved better. We'll see if Edward Norton Motherless Brooklyn, Bill Condon's thriller The good liar (with Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen) and legal melodrama Michael B. Jordan / Brie Larson / Jamie Foxx Just pity can do better. The odds are not in their favor. Warner Bros. End of 2019 will be "saved" by two R-rated movies about murderous clowns, namely This chapter two and R-rated study by Todd Phillips, valued at $ 55 million, on a man suffering from mental illness who would fall into violence and madness. Joker Otherwise, it would be a profoundly non-commercial film, apart from being based on a villain of the world-famous comics. Go understand.
