It wasn’t a stellar weekend at the movies.
“Captain America: Brave New World” fell 68% from last weekend, its debut. Total is now $141 million.
More or less the same amount is coming from foreign territories, where “Captain America” has met with lukewarm responses.
Still, what else is out there? “The Monkey” did Monkey Business, making half as much in its first weekend — $14 million — than the Cap in his second.
More importantly, if you add up the still playing Oscar movies, apart from “Wicked,” total box office is dismal. All of those films combined came to about $150 million. That’s excluding “Emilia Perez,” “Sing Sing,” and the streamers since no knows what they would have made.
March looks rather dry at the box office. No films of any importance except maybe “Mickey 17,” which has an 89 on Rotten Tomatoes but hasn’t gotten much press push from Warner Bros.
We need some Ivermectin stat!
