‘Shang-Chi’ at the Third Weekend Box Office with $ 21 Million, ‘Cry Macho’ Low – Deadline

Saturday morning update: Doubts about the health of the entire domestic box office continue to fade with Disney / Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the legend of the ten rings continues to reign at the peak of its third weekend $ 21 million, the second best third weekend result for a September release after Warner Bros. ‘ This ($ 29.75 million).

It is a good holding of -39% after a Friday of $ 5.8 million, -40% and the feature film directed by Destin Daniel Cretton appears to be standing at EOD Sunday at $ 176.1 million.

There really isn’t much to brag about when it comes to the rest of the newcomers to the map, many of whom are theatrical releases.

Clint Eastwood’s Western crying macho is not his best with 53% on Rotten Tomatoes and therefore not his best at the box office with an estimate $ 1.6M Friday and $ 4.7 million three days in 3,967 theaters in third, and that’s with a date and date in theaters and an HBO Max release. crying macho will take third place after the 20th Studio / Disney’s free guy with $ 5 million in 2nd place during his weekend 6, -10%. What would the movie’s big bucks look like without HBO Max? That’s the long-battered million dollar question of 2021, however, we can’t proclaim that older demos are back in full in theaters during the pandemic, let alone the audience reactions here from a B CinemaScore and 73% positive on Screen Engine / PostTrak, we can’t expect the latest news from the 91-year-old filmmaker and actor to do much more, even with a theatrical window. Eastwood, I’ve heard, made this movie a year ago with great skill. The previous pre-pandemic version of Eastwood, The mule, in which he also starred, won 71% on Rotten Tomatoes, an A-CinemaScore, and opened at $ 17.5 million in mid-December 2018 and reached $ 103.8 million domestically.

Of crying machoparticipation, 79% were over 35, 62% over 45 and 36% over 55. The photo leaned a bit toward 51% female with a diversity of displays of 66% Caucasians, 14% Latinos, 8% Blacks, and 12% Asians / other. The best markets were the west, south, and mid-west. The top ten theaters came from the west and southwest.

The Gerard Butler feature of Open Road Cop shop in 3,005 theaters drawn for $ 950,000, the photo should be deposited $ 2.475 million over three days. The photo had a brilliant 80% of reviews on RT, but didn’t impress audiences with 62% positive and 39% recommendation on PostTrak. How much P&A has been spent here? Because this version of Open Road is right below its pandemic exit openings, Liam Neeson Honest thief and The sniper, which started at $ 4.1 million and $ 3.1 million respectively. Receipts per theater weren’t that strong, even with eight of the top ten races coming from the West Coast. These 54% over 35 showed up, as well as 34% over 45 with 60% men in the lead and a diversity breakdown of 57% Caucasians, 18% Latinos, 15% Blacks. and 10% Asians / others.

Projector Tammy Faye’s eyes, just received a great reception when it premiered at TIFF, but an even lesser result critics who toasted it at 67% fresh made $ 250,000 on Friday and an expected prize $ 653,000 over three days in 450 theaters for a theater average of $ 1.45,000, which doesn’t mean that the older arthouse crowds are back. The film earned a B + CinemaScore and was more dominant in major cities and coasts in gross revenue with two theaters in Austin, TX, ranking in the top ten alongside theaters in New York and LA. . Heard that some decent numbers in New York and Los Angeles, the rest of the big guys weren’t good. Heartwarming, as Jessica Chastain shines here in this satirical biopic directed by Michael Showalter (and Andrew Garfield too). Some people have criticized me for marketing: did anyone know this movie was opening? Indeed, a dilemma for all arthouse distributors on the eve of awards season and Q4: How much are we going to spend?

Universal had its limited version of Bayou blue in 477 theaters earning $ 120,000 on Fridays, $ 305,000 for the weekend for an average of $ 639 in theaters. The film is 72% fresh on RT. Directed by Justin Chon, the photo follows a Korean-American man raised in the Louisiana Bayou, who works hard to support his family. He must face the ghosts of his past as he discovers he could be kicked out of the only country he’s ever called home. Chon plays with Alicia Vikander.
