Weekend Box Office: 'Fifty Shades Freed' Climaxes With $137M Global Debut

Universal's Fifty Shades Freed seduced audiences in its worldwide debut, grossing $136.9 million and propelling the female-fueled, Valentine's Day franchise past the $1 billion mark in global box-office ticket sales.

In North America, Fifty Shades Freed easily dominated, coming in No. 1 with $38.8 million, the top opening of the year to date. There were no signs that the #MeToo movement slowed down the threequel, which came in less than 17 percent behind Fifty Shades Darker, a small drop for a third title, not to mention a third title in a franchise based on a book series that's faded from view.

Females made up 75 percent or more of the North American audience for Fifty Shades Freed. Dakota Johnson once again stars as Anastasia Steele, while Jamie Dornan reprises the role of Christian Grey.

A CGI/live-action hybrid, Sony's Peter Rabbit came in No. 2 with an estimated $25 million from 3,725 theaters. The family film, from Sony Pictures Animation, earned an A- CinemaScore from moviegoers.

The 15:17, placing third, currently has a 20 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes, the worst of Eastwood's career. Audiences weren't so kind either, giving the movie a B-. The movie skewed notably older; on Friday, 57 percent of ticket buyers were over the age of 50. Conversely, only 14 percent were 25 and younger.

That Clint Eastwood movie only got 20% from RT? lol. I figured it would be a little cheesy, but damn!

Freed is already over a $100M worldwide so we're getting at least one Christian-led movie.

Shape of Water is about to cross $50M in the US. That's a big benchmark for del Toro.

Jumanji and Greatest Showman continue to defy gravity despite three new wide-releases.

Disgusting that Peter Rabbit did so much better than Paddington 2.

America's greatest failure since electing Trump.

Man fuck 15:17 to Paris. What those guys did should be commended. But to star as yourselves in a movie about the incident feels scummy and Clint Eastwood has shown that he likes to exploit patriotism to fatten his wallet.

Someone might presume that more rigid attitudes about consent and how powerful men treat of women might make people less enthusiastic about a film where a lady gets tied up and abused. I haven't seen any of the Grey films though so I'm not sure how the BDSM there gets played out.

If the next week's title isn't some variation of "what giants do", I will have words with Kswis

$160m three-day, $190m four-day for Panther.

The Kendrick album drop was perfect timing. The buzz is off the charts for this.

Why?

The first one had a huge ROI. The second one, though earning less, still had big margins.

They are pretty inexpensive movies, all things considered, that earn quite well.

Not because of OMGTHATSUCKS, I actually watched both and man, Grey is a total asshole and Steele is a puppet with the illusion of freedom.

It's really fucked up and I haven't even read the books and I heard it gets worse. Had not been for Panther, I would have wasted a few sneaking in to this.

Jumanji posted the smallest drop of all films.
Peter Rabbit overperformed its tracking.

Sony can do no wro-

Oh.

And it looks like Paramount will at least stave off getting beaten by Sony Pictures Classic for a while longer. Then again, they have that sweet sweet Netflix bailout cash.

Showman and Jumanji are still on the top 5 and they came out around Christmas!

Paramount is thankful Netflix brought the Paradox rights.
