“Bob Marley One Love” won the box office weekend, handily.
The total is now up to $71 million, so $100 is in its sights. Good deal. Every little thing will be alright, indeed. This is really a case of giving the people what they want. Paramount delivered.
Giving the people what they didn’t want: “Drive Away Dolls” did less than projected with just $2.4 million. People so didn’t want to see this movie. Now I’m curious to see it one day. The Friday total was $1 million. Today’s projected take is half of that. This means that word of mouth kept getting worse.
Wim Wenders’s “Perfect Days” was released and did little business. I haven’t even received a press release about it, although “Perfect Days” has good reviews with a 96 on Rotten Tomatoes. Neon Pictures has already snuffed out Ava Duvernay’s “Origin” and Michael Mann’s “Ferrari.” What happened to this company? They certainly put all their eggs in the “Anatomy of a Fall” Basket. And that one has not even made $5 million after 19 weeks!
