The final weekend box office numbers are in and Lucy has only slightly over estimated, dipping just below $44 million, finishing with $43.8 million. Meanwhile, Hercules was $800,000 stronger than estimated, finishing its opening weekend with $29.8 million to go along with $28.7 million internationally, which is where it’s going to need to make a large sum to justify that $100 million budget.
The Purge: Anarchy also did better than estimated, dropping 64.8% in its second weekend and finishing with $10.4 million, which is, in fact, a great hold considering the success of Lucy. Almost makes you wonder how Hercules would have done had it been rated R. I also wonder, are we all just getting a little tired of the formulaic aspect of all these PG-13 movies? How much does storytelling benefit when it’s unencumbered by censorship?
Finally, And So It Goes finished with $4.6 million.
