DreamWorks Animation and Universal's "The Bad Guys" opened in theaters this week and dominated the weekend box-office, surpassing both "Sonic the Hedgehog 2" and "Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore". Other new releases that made the Top 10 include the historical epic "The Northman" and the high-concept Nicholas Cage starrer "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent".
Read more about the weekend box-office after the jump.
The PG-rated animated film "The Bad Guys" opened in first place with $24 million from 4,008 theaters. The film already opened in a number of foreign markets earlier this month and has so far grossed $63.1 million from 52 markets, and a total of $87 million worldwide. The film received a positive reception from both critics (85% on Rotten Tomatoes) and moviegoers ("A" CinemaScore).
"Sonic the Hedgehog 2" finished its third weekend in second place with $15.2 million (48% drop), which brings its domestic total to $145.8 million. The film raked in another $142 million overseas, and its worldwide tally has reached $287.8 million.
"Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore" took a steep 67% dive and landed in third place with $14 million. With just $67.1 million grossed in North America, its mostly bad news for the future of the Wizarding World franchise. Overseas, however, is where the film is still doing well, grossing a total of $213 million. But it's still a movie that cost $200 million to produce, not to mention how much it costs to market this kind of movie, and it needs to make a lot more money to be truly profitable.
Robert Eggers' R-rated historical epic opened with $12 million from 3,234 theaters, which is higher than the pre-release projections that estimated a $9 million debut. The film also delivered $11.5 million overseas. However, with a production budget of around $70 million (before marketing), it's not a particularly solid start. "The Northman" received a positive reception from critics (89% on Rotten Tomatoes), but audiences were less impressed ("B" CinemaScore).
The last of the new wide releases, Lionsgate's "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent", opened in fifth place with $7.2 million from 3,036 theaters, which is pretty much in line with projections. Overseas it added another $2.4 million. These are not impressive numbers, but the film's saving grace is its low $30 million production budget. Critics loved the film (88% on Rotten Tomatoes), and moviegoers mostly enjoyed it ("B+" CinemaScore).
