DoctorStrange will drop about 67% at the box office this weekend. That’s on the steeper side for a Marvel film, though a sharp drop was expected coming off of the eleventh-biggest domestic debut of all time.
called the sequel “both entertaining and exhausting,” with Owen Gleiberman deeming it “an unhinged ride, a CGI horror jam, a Marvel brainteaser and, at moments, a bit of an ordeal.”” didn’t. Though the Stephen King adaptation is the only new wide release this weekend, the film isn’t sparking at the box office. “Firestarter” looks to land in fourth place on domestic charts with a projected $3.57 million bow from 3,412 locations.
The film doesn’t have many positive impressions on its side, scoring a dismal 15% approval aggregate rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes and a fairly dismissive “C-” grade from general moviegoers on Cinema Score.wrote that “the whole thing plays like ‘Logan’ done in the worst humdrum rhythmless made-for-streaming generic style.
The Keith Thomas-directed “Firestarter” stars Zac Efron as the father of a girl who has the power to create flames with her mind. Sydney Lemmon, Kurtwood Smith, John Beasley, Michael Greyeyes and Gloria Reuben also star. The fourth weekend of Universal’s “The Bad Guys” should take the runner-up slot on domestic charts. The DreamWorks Animation heist film looks to hit a fairly charitable drop of 30% for the weekend, likely benefiting from the dearth of family friendly movies in theaters at the moment. Paramount’s “Sonic the Hedgehog 2” is also facing a slim 30% drop in its sixth weekend, still drawing in young ones and parents.
Rounding out the top five is A24’s “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” which looks to drop a measly 11% from its previous outing. The film will have accumulated more than $45 million in North America after today. Should the Michelle Yeoh actioner continue to hold as impressively as it has been — and why shouldn’t it? — then “Everything Everywhere” should push past the $50 million gross of “Uncut Gems” to become A24’s highest grossing domestic release of all time.
