The box office is a bit desultory.
The Bob Marley biopic is heading to a $40 mil run from Wednesday. That’s mostly thanks to that big opening day with $14 million. Since then, it’s been a little dicey. Did everyone interested in this musical and political hero just go on the first day? Spread the word, folks!
Dakota Johnson isn’t weaving much of a spell with “Madame Web.” Panned left and right, “Madame Web” will gross just about $20 million for its four day run (Thurs-Sun). It will vanish into the ether after this President’s Day weekend.
Down the chart among the Oscar films, I’m sorry to say “American Fiction” isn’t doing a lot of business. Go see this movie, folks! So cleverly written, acted, and directed, Cord Jefferson’s debut is a winner.
Alas, most of the films in theaters right now are Holdovers, like “The Holdovers.” A new batch of entertainments is undoubtedly coming, just slowly! March will bring a new slate.
