Friday box office:
Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” is the number 1 narrative film in the US. Thursday-Friday numbers give it a $9.8 million opening, with an expected $25 million weekend.
“Flower Moon” is a three hour-plus drama about a real life historical tragedy that involved the Osage Nation of Native Americans and the early days of the FBI. The craftsmanship of the film is akin to any TCM classic. It’s one of the most importsnt works by a great American filmmaker.
Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour” is a filmed concert experience. It’s not actually a documentary but it’s a terrific souvenir for tweenage girls. It’s an experience. Last night “Eras” crossed the $100 million line to $109 million.
The two films have nothing to do with each other and can’t be compared in any way, shape, or form. It’s actually pretty insulting to Martin Scorsese to say his film is being beaten by the Swift project.
