The Angry Birds Movie earned $18.7 million on its second weekend, a drop of 51%. That brings the Rovio Entertainment release's domestic total up to $66.3m. We should expect a $24m (-39%) holiday haul. That will give the
Captain America: Civil War earned another $15.1 million on its fourth weekend (-54%) to bring its domestic cume to $374m. The
Sadly, Universal's Neighbors 2 took a brutal hit in the second frame. The Seth Rogen/Zac Efron/Rose Byrne/Chloe Moretz sequel grossed $9.1m (-58%) over the Friday to Monday frame, which brings its cume up to $40m domestic. Oddly enough, the film is almost equaling its domestic number overseas, with a $36m foreign cume (it opened earlier, but still). The $35m comedy has now earned $76m worldwide. In other Universal/
Disney's The Jungle Book earned around $9 million over the holiday haul for a new $341m cume. That puts it past Alice in Wonderland ($334m) and Zootopia (which will make around $1.25m for the weekend for a new $336m total). The Jungle Book now sits with $879m worldwide, putting it past Batman v Superman ($870m). Zootopia now has $991m worldwide. That means, with $50m in Japan, it's probably going to crawl over the $1 billion mark. Oh, and it's now the second-biggest original movie ever behind Avatar. While Alice Through the Looking Glass got crushed this weekend, Disney did cross the $4 billion mark worldwide. So it's got that going for it.
And Shane Black's The Nice Guys didn't get a ton of holiday traction, earning $6.37 million (-43%) to bring its cume to $21.734m. Expect an $8m holiday weekend (-35%) and a $23.4m eleven-day cume. Oddly enough, most of the (few) "outside the bubble" adults I know have either seen the film or plan to over the next week or so. Sony's official adult counterprogramming of the month, Money Monster, is holding up a bit better. The Jodie Foster-directed thriller will earn around $5.4m over the holiday for a $35m cume. The George Clooney/Julia Roberts drama cost $28m to produce.
Love & Friendship expanded to 493 theaters this weekend and earned around $2.5 million (+340%) over the holiday for its trouble. The well-reviewed Whit Stillman comedy, a Jane Austin adaptation starring Kate Beckinsale, should make around $3.5m (+483%) over the holiday weekend for a new $4.563m. Don't be surprised if this one sticks around for awhile and crawls to $30m domestic.
Also expanding this weekend is The Lobster, which earned $725k in 119 locations over the Fri-Sun weekend for a likely $942k holiday haul. That will give the superb Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz comedy a $2.16m cume. The Darkness should make around $934k (-62%) on its third holiday-inflated weekend for a $10m domestic cume, while The Meddler should have $699k (-20%) on 420 screens for a new $3.14m cume by Monday night.
Next weekend sees the debuts of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows from Paramount/Viacom Inc., Me Before You from Warner Bros./Time Warner Inc., and Popstar: Never Stop Stopping from Universal/Comcast Corp.
