'The Goldfinch' bombed at the U.S. box office over the weekend with a debut of just $2.68 million
bombed at the U.S. box office over the weekend with a debut of just $2.68 million, one of the worst starts ever for a film opening in 2,542 theaters. But the frame wasn't totally bereft for the studio —stayed atop the chart with a strong $40.7 million in its sophomore outing, pushing the cumulative box office of the two-picture adaptation of Stephen King’s horror novel past the $1 billion mark in worldwide ticket sales.
the pic, which stars Ansel Elgort and Nicole Kidman, makes up ground overseas. Early numbers aren't encouraging, however.grossed only $852,000 upon launching over the weekend in Russia and 11 smaller markets. On the Warners lot, there's divided opinion as to whether it was the right decision for the marketing and publicity team to premiere the pic at the recent Toronto International Film Festival, where critics gather each year in search of fall awards contenders. The film's Rotten Tomatoes score quickly plummeted to 24 percent. While the movie would have still been reviewed no matter where it premiered, a fall film festival can result in heightened expectations.
