‘Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again’ Belting $41M+; ‘Equalizer 2’ Targets $34M – Late Friday Update A great weekend at the box office here, with both Universal’s Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again and Sony’s Equalizer 2 both over-performing. The Ol Parker-directed original ABBA musical is looking at an estimated No. 1 win, with $41M after a $15.3M Friday (including last night’s $3.4M previews), while the Denzel Washington sequel is eyeing around $13.5M today (including Thursday’s $3.1M), with an amazing $34M three-day. Rival distribution sources believe both pics could even go higher. 妈妈咪呀2 午夜场340万 周五1530万 周末看齐4100万 伸冤人2 午夜场310万 周五1350万 周末看齐3400万
Two-thirds of Mamma Mia 2‘s audience tonight is female, with the 25+ crowd also making up two-thirds. Definite recommend is high, near 70%, with great interest among younger females. Much like the first film, which posted a 5.2 multiple off its $27.7M opening for a $144.1m domestic result 妈妈咪呀第一部首周碰到了黑暗骑士崛起 首周只有2775万 可是后劲好 累计1.44亿 第二部 周五三分之二是女性 而且25岁以上女性占了三分之二 好口碑利于后期
Should Equalizer 2‘s numbers remain intact, it will only be $100K shy of the first installment’s opening, which is remarkable. Many, including Sony, weren’t expecting this .quel to break the $30M mark, especially off of a ho-hum Rotten Tomatoes score of 49%. Sony reports that the production cost of Equalizer 2 is $62M. However, we hear even after Massachusetts state tax credits, that the net is in the high $70Ms. Still, film finance sources are impressed with the weekend results here for Equalizer 2, and think it could squeeze out a bit of a profit, with a domestic of $85M-$90M and foreign repping 45% of global. Forty-seven percent of the first Equalizer‘s $192.3M global B.O. came from foreign or $90.8M. While it’s been over-written that stars can no longer be relied upon to open movies, in many ways the success here with Equalizer 2 can be pegged to Denzel Washington, who, with a solid entertaining picture, can reach a $30M-$40M opening. The sequel, Washington’s first, is bound to rank in the 2x Oscar winner’s top five of all-time. Equalizer 2 reps Washington’s fourth movie with filmmaker Antoine Fuqua (including Equalizer 1, Magnificent 7, and Training Day, which delivered Washington a best actor win). 伸冤人2 比预期好出不少 索尼自己和大多数预测都不太相信 首周能有3000万+ 第一部北美3413万首周 累计1.06亿 本片号召力还是主要来自与丹泽尔华盛顿 本片是华盛顿第一次拍续集 传言本片他拿的片酬将在1500万美金+ 成本6200万
