The weekend box office wasn’t very exciting unless getting slimed was your preference.
After five weeks, “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” finally hit $100 million. It’s been a slog. “Frozen Empire” is running $15 million behind “Ghostbusters Afterlife.” It’s already crested and is on the way out but at least they can say they’re part of the club.
For Sony, that’s good news since they’ve evidently lost the new Quentin Tarantino movie. The peripatetic director just doesn’t want to do it after a mountain of hype and expectation. That’s got to be a downer for Sony. Maybe Spider Man is on his way.
“Civil War” topped the list of films this week making a desultory $11 million.
Guy Ritchie’s “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare” made $9 million, on its way to a mediocre run. I think the marketing has just been “this is an action film. go see it.” Otherwise, I have no sense of it. And $9 million in 2,845 theaters suggests no one else does either.
