The weekend actuals are in and 300: Rise of an Empire actually finished spot on with its estimate, $45 million. The reported budget, however, went up another $10 million to $110m, nearly double the original, but with another $87.8 million from overseas markets on opening weekend, Rise of an Empire enjoyed a $132.8 million worldwide opening.
In second is Mr. Peabody & Sherman, which dipped $300,000 from estimates to $32.3 million on a budget of $145 million, but it too did well overseas, bringing in an additional $65.8 million. The film scored an “A” CinemaScore so just maybe it can have a nice holdover and do a little more damage than its middling domestic performance so far.
As for the holdovers, both Non-Stop and Son of God did a little better than estimated, Non-Stop only dropping 45.2% from its opening weekend with Son of God still the largest drop in the top ten at 59.5%.
In the end 12 Years a Slave got its 116.3% Oscar bump, bringing in $2.1 million while Wes Anderson‘s The Grand Budapest Hotel enjoyed its live-action limited release record bringing in $811,166 from four theaters for a $202,792 per theater average.
