Box Office Actuals for ‘Noah’, ‘Sabotage’, ‘God’s Not Dead’ and ‘Grand Budapest Hotel’

Noah dipped just a little once actuals arrived, scoring $43.7 million from 3,567 theaters for a $12,257 per theater average. I am hoping to see the film tomorrow evening so I can weigh in on what seems to be a film that has people talking and in many different ways. Religious fervor is something that can never be argued for obvious reasons, but I hope there are more angles to discuss beyond faith-based proclamations.

Also dropping a little more than estimated is David Ayer‘s Sabotage, dropping to $5.2 million, seemingly suggesting the days of Arnold Schwarzenegger opening a movie are over… at least on his own as a character that wasn’t established back in his glory days. Even still, if you were an exec would you rush to put into production that Twins 2 idea that’s been rumbling around?

Last weekend’s top two — Divergent and Muppets Most Wanted — held on decently all things considered with Divergent dropping 53.1% for a $25.6 million sophomore session and Muppets dropping only 33.7% for $11.2 million finish. However, this is all in accordance to their opening weekend performances where Divergent did solid business, but not Twilight or Hunger Games numbers and Muppets was, more-or-less, a non-starter.

In its second weekend, God’s Not Dead dropped only 4.5% for a $8.7 million finish while Wes Anderson‘s The Grand Budapest Hotel finished the weekend with $8.5 million from 977 theaters.
