Sinks like a Rock: “Baywatch” Movie Drowns with $5.7 Mil Friday Box, Johnny Depp “Pirates” Off to Series Low
The early returns are in. “Baywatch: The Movie” has sunk with the Rock, like a rock. The ill conceived TV adaptation has drowned with just $5.7 million on Friday night, and a total from Wednesday previews and Thursday of just over $10 million. All the abs in China won’t save this thing.
Meanwhile “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” made $19 million Friday night, plus $5 mil from Thursday previews. Lowest numbers since the original movie back in 1931 when Depp was just coming off “21 Jump Street,” the TV series, and didn’t own an island.
Keep refreshing…
