Paramount’s hit biopic Bob Marley: One Love fought off three new releases to remain on top of the domestic box office with an estimated $13.5 million (-53%), per Deadline. The musical drama about the iconic musician has now accrued a solid $71.1M in North America and $121M worldwide.
Meanwhile, Sony/Crunchyroll’s Demon Slayer no Yaiba – To the Hashira Training came in at No. 2 with $11.6M, while Kingdom Story’s fact-based Ordinary Angels landed at No. 3 with $6.5M from 3,020 screens.
The only other new release, Ethan Coen’s Drive-Away Dolls, ran off with a meager $2.4M from 2,280 theaters, settling for the eighth spot. That’s lower than the $3.69M start of Focus Features’ Lisa Frankenstein.
As expected, Sony’s travesty Madame Web dipped 61% in its sophomore frame and collected just $6M, raising its domestic cume to $35.4M.
On a more positive note, the romantic comedy Anyone But You (a film that better utilizes Sydney Sweeney) cruised past the $200M global mark — wow! — while the indie hit Poor Things inched closer to $100M worldwide.
Thankfully, this weekend sees the release of the anticipated (and critically lauded) Dune: Part Two, which is expected to go bonkers in its debut week. How high will it fly? Check back next week to see where Denis Villeneuve’s epic lands.
