The numbers are coming in for last night. “Jupiter Ascending” did around $6.2 million for the night, with a projected $16 mil weekend. That’s a bigger box office disaster than most famous flops including “The Lone Ranger” and “After Earth.” They did around $25-$29 mil opening weekends, at least. The Wachowskis are headed to Netflix, kids. If they’re lucky. Hold on, for more…
“Seventh Son” did much worse with only $2.3 million on Friday for a $5 – $6 mil weekend. Universal takes bath, and holds its breath for “Fifty Shades of Grey” opening next Friday. That should whip the studio in shape.
Good news: “Sponge Bob” could rake in $40 million for Paramount. And “The Imitation Game” will hit $75 million by Monday.
