Box Office: “Downton Abbey: A New Era” Looks at $20 Mil Weekend, A24’s “Men” Has Issues
“Men” figured in last night’s box office. Some scored, others didn’t.
“Doctor Strange” conjured up $ 8.5 million, bringing its total to a hefty $319 million. Another $17 million will bring it well over $330 million by tomorrow night.
Other “Men” didn’t fare so well. A24’s horror film of that name, which I hear people really don’t like made just a million bucks last night after $400K in previews. “Men” won’t take home $5 million in its opening weekend. On Rotten Tomatoes, it has a lowly 56% audience score.
The best new movie of the weekend, “Downton Abbey: A New Era” did great last night given all parameters of COVID. “A New Era” will have a $20 million opening weekend, lower than the first movie (pre-pandemic) but just fine. Go see it. It’s incredibly enjoyable even if a certain someone comes to sad but beautiful end.
