Universal just scored its third straight #1 weekend with the R-rated comedy "Good Boys", surpassing the studio's "Hobbs & Shaw". The film also dominated the other newcomers, which included the animated sequel "The Angry Birds Movie 2", the shark thriller sequel "47 Meters Down: Uncaged", the British dramedy "Blinded by the Light", and the Cate Blanchett-starrer "Where'd You Go, Bernadette".
Find out more about the weekend box-office after the jump.
Produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Golderg, the comedy "Good Boys" topped the charts with $21 million from 3,204 theaters against a $20 million budget. It's a solid performance, especially considering that it's one of the few non-sequels/non-remakes to dominate the box-office. The film also scored the second biggest opening weekend for a comedy this year, behind "A Madea Family Funeral" ($27 million). And its excellent debut helped Universal become the second studio of 2019 to top $1 billion at the domestic box-office, so far.
"Good Boys" also opened in 13 international markets and brought in $2.1 million. More territories will follow throughout September. The film received a positive reception from critics (80% on Rotten Tomatoes and 60 on Metacritic), and audiences generally liked it (89% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes and a "B+" grade from CinemaScore's polls).
Universal's "Hobbs & Shaw" finished in second place with $14.1 million, bringing its domestic total to $133.7 million after 17 days in theaters. The film dropped just 44% in its third weekend. Overseas, it brought in another $45.7 million for an overseas cume of $303 million, and a global total of $437 million.
Disney's "The Lion King" landed at #3 with $11.9 million, dipping just 41% this weekend. Its domestic tally has reached $496.1 million. The film added another $33.8 million overseas, and its international cume now stands at $939.1 million. So, far, the "live-action" remake has grossed a total of $1.435 billion worldwide.
Sony Animation's sequel "The Angry Birds Movie 2" was released on Tuesday, and only managed to rake in an estimated $10.5 million over the weekend from 3,869 theaters, for a six-day debut of $16.2 million. The first "Angry Birds" opened with $38.1 million in 2016. Although better reviewed than its predecessor (76% on Rotten Tomatoes and 60 on Metacritic), it failed to attract viewers who were disappointed by the original. The sequel was well liked by audiences (86% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes and a "B+" grade from CinemaScore), but still bombed, and there's little chance of recouping its $65 million budget after such a poor debut.
The Top 5 is rounded out by Lionsgate's "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" with $10.5 million. The film dropped 52% in its second weekend, and its domestic total has reached $40.2 million. Overseas it grossed another $5.6 million, which brings its international cume to $14.1 million.
The shark thriller sequel "47 Meters Down: Uncaged" only managed a #6 debut with $9 million from 2,853 theaters, which is pretty much as expected, perhaps even slightly better, but still below the $11.2 million opening weekend of the original. The sequel received mixed reviews from critics (50% on Rotten Tomatoes and 43 on Metacritic) and an unenthusiastic reception by audiences (68% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes and a terrible "C+" from CinemaScore).
Another new release, the Bruce Springsteen-inspired British dramedy "Blinded by the Light" bombed this weekend. The film opened in ninth place with $4.4 million from 2,307 theaters, despite being critically acclaimed (90% on Rotten Tomatoes and 71 on Metacritic) and having a generally positive audience reception (93% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes and "A-" on CinemaScore). It's a particularly disappointing outcome for Warner Bros, after "The Kitchen" also bombed last week.
Richard Linklater's new film "Where'd You Go Bernadette" starring Cate Blanchett also tanked this weekend. With a $3.4 million debut from 2,404 locations, the film failed to make the Top 10. While critics were mostly mixed (43% on Rotten Tomatoes and 51 on Metacritic), audiences were more forgiving (78% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes and a "B" grade from CinemaScore).
