Hustlers marks a grand opening weekend as impressive as Ramona's coat

The major box office news today was not transmitted to you by the first source of income for the weekend (ie This chapter two, by the way). The winners of this weekend are Jennifer Lopez, Constance Wu and the punctuated and slightly criminal ladies of STXfilms' Hustlers, which secured a very strong second week of $ 33.2 million. The film directed by Lorene Scafaria and based on a true story generated a lot of favorable buzz at the Toronto International Film Festival, leading to the studio's most important opening film in history. Our own Jesse Hassenger has qualified Lopez's performance for years and it's the ideal: The Hollywood journalist, Hustlers is now Lopez's biggest live-action opening, as well as Wu's biggest opening ever, even surpassing his 2018 behemoth Crazy Rich Asians.

the he The franchise has always had a remarkable weekend, of course, since the sequel has thrown an additional $ 40 million to its $ 153.8 million gross top box office. Overall, This chapter two raised $ 323.3 million, making the Stephen King franchise one billion dollars in revenue between the two films. The rest of the top five reflects the results of last weekend with Angel fell, Good boys, and The Lion King falling to the third, fourth and fifth place, respectively.

The story of the coming of age the Goldfinch also opened this weekend after its own first at TIFF, but it failed to give such a favorable impression Hustlers. Director Ansel Elgort collected $ 2.6 million (which is not very useful for a $ 45 million project), putting him in eighth place behind Affirm Film. Winner. This marks another flop for Warner Bros. after Blinded by the light and The kitchen, as well as one of the biggest box office bombs of 2019. Elgort will probably have more luck with Steven Spielberg's movie. West Side Story, that he is filming.

Brad Pitt goes to space this weekend Ad Astra premieres in the theaters while a few favorite favorites return to the fold, as the noble noble Rambo and the violent bloodbath known as Downton Abbey … or something like that.
