It's another win for original movies, and this time around with a fresh face cast, as Amblin/New Republic/Universal's 1917 jumps to a $36.5M wide opening, putting its running total at $39.2M since its limited Christmas debut. Those are official Sunday AM estimates from Uni after a $13.7M Saturday that was -2% from Friday's $14M which included previews $3.25M previews.
Paramount's Like a Boss, I hear, played quite well with testing audiences, who had a great time. But as of Sunday morning, both Paramount and Warner Bros. are calling No. 4 for themselves with the Burbank, CA lot also arguing over $10M. We'll have the industry estimates shortly to determine who is likely to be placed 4th and 5th.
Warner Bros.' Just Mercy continues to be a grand slam with audiences, with its updated wide CinemaScore sustaining at an A+ throughout all demos, and 4 1/2 stars on PostTrak, with a 73% definite recommend. Saturday was $3.66M, -1% from Friday's $3.68M.
Disney/Fox had the TSG/Chernin Entertainment Kirsten Stewart action movie Underwater, and it's two duds in a row for the Twlight alum after Charlie's Angels, with this $50M production from Sundance Film Fest alum William Eubank hitting rock bottom with $6.9M in the No. 7 spot according to industry estimates on Sunday AM. Disney will report soon.
