Weekend Box-Office: A WRINKLE IN TIME Disappoints as BLACK PANTHER Holds at #1

weekend-box-office-a-wrinkle-in-time-disappoints

"Black Panther" is still the #1 movie at the box-office as Disney's "A Wrinkle in Time" turned out to be far from the huge success everyone thought it would be. Meanwhile, the horror reboot "The Strangers: Prey at Night" confirmed expectations, while "Gringo" and "The Hurricane Heist" struggled.

Find out more about the weekend box office after the jump.



"Black Panther" continues its reign at the box-office with $41.1 million domestically, bringing its domestic tally to $562 million. With another $516 million brought in from foreign markets, the film has crossed $1 billion worldwide.

In second place we have the first of the new wide releases, Disney's new franchise hopeful "A Wrinkle in Time", which disappointed with $33.3 million against a $100 million budget. To be fair, the studio did expect a $35 million debut, which the film landed short of, but pundits were expecting a much bigger debut given that there was a lot of publicity surrounding the film's push for diversity. That didn't seem to matter much, as the film received a negative reception from critics (42% on Rotten Tomatoes and 52 on Metacritic), while audiences responded with a lackluster "B" on CinemaScore.

The horror reboot "The Strangers: Prey At Night" opened in third place with $10.4 million, which is pretty much in line with expectations. The original 2008 film opened with $20 million and went on to gross $52.5 million domestically against a $9 million budget. The new film has an even lower $5 million budget, so even if it doesn't end its theatrical run on par with the original, it's still making a lot of money compared to its production costs. The film received negative reviews from critics (38% on Rotten Tomatoes and 50 on Metacritic) and a weak "C" from CinemaScore.

The spy thriller "Red Sparrow" finished in fourth place with $8.1 million, dropping 51.6% and bringing its domestic cume to $31.1 million. Overseas the film has grossed $51.8 million. Overall, considering its $69 million budget, it wouldn't be wrong to say that the film is struggling a bit.

The Top 5 is rounded up by the dark comedy "Game Night" which finished its third weekend with $7.9 million after a very decent 24% drop. The film has grossed $45 million domestically and $24.7 million internationally, against a $37 million budget.

Another new release, the action thriller "The Hurricane Heist" opened in eighth place with $3.1 million from 2,402 theaters. Even with a small $35 million budget, it's still a pretty bad debut. But, at least it made it into the Top 10, unlike the last of the new releases, the satire "Gringo", which opened with $2.6 million from 2,404 theaters, and failed to make it into the first 10 films at the box-office.

The twisted indie thriller "Thoroughbreds" impressed in limited release, grossing $1.2 million from 549 theaters.


New Wide Releases: "A Wrinkle in Time", "Strangers: Prey at Night", "Gringo".
