Michael B. Jordan is official A-List, while "Robin Hood" has to deal with cold, bumpy leftovers.
Sequels ran holiday weekends with "Ralph Breaks the Internet" and "Creed 2". This is one of the most lucrative periods of the movie calendar. This year, attendance has been the best since 2013. There are proof that non-suites can explode (see: "A star is born" and "Bohemian Rhapsody"), but in prime time, the studios play security.
Of course, "safe" does not always mean safe. The second weekend of "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" lacks national results and, while the new "Robin Hood" addressed a larger, younger and more diverse crowd, its target audience aroused little interest.
"Ralph breaks the Internet"
In adjusted terms, "Ralph Breaks the Internet" equates to the opening of "Wreck-It Ralph," early November 2012. This animated Disney release (unlike Pixar) has taken a date as the studio tries to claim the most years, with very good results comparable to "Coco" or "Moana". Unlike their predecessors, "Ralph" does not seem to be a major rewards candidate; It's a bit like the fun movies that Universal and 20th Century Fox are all about, which reflects Disney's development to reflect the changing tastes of the public.
"Credo II"
Meanwhile, "Creed II" has almost doubled the opening of the Thanksgiving 2016 reboot. His total of $ 56 million over five days is one of the best openers of the date. This jump suggests that Michael B. Jordan has secured a place among the best. It will probably be bigger at home than abroad, but it will be a great success for MGM and all parties involved.
"Robin Hood"
Lionsgate / Screen Capture
Robin Hood's remakes appear to be a ten-year staple, but the latest release (with Taron Edgerton in the role of titular hero, alongside Jamie Foxx and Ben Mendelsohn) could finally put an end to this trend. With a production cost of $ 100 million, it has earned less than $ 14 million in five days and will have the chance to reach $ 25 million nationally. However, Lionsgate will escape catastrophic losses as they sell anticipated foreign rights covering the majority of its budget.
