There’s a strong wind blowing at the top of the box office. In fact, you might even call the spot wuthering.
Wuthering Heights proved that a movie doesn’t have to understand its source material to take first place at the box office. It swept in $34.8 million during its opening weekend in North America. Taking into account its international earnings, the Warner Bros. film brought in $82 million worldwide.
GOAT found itself “SGOAT,” or, the “Second Greatest of All Time.” If you equate “All Time” with “this weekend.” The animated movie munched down on $26 million in its debut weekend, floating this goat up to second place. Worldwide, the movie took home $47.6 million. Not too baaaaad.
Chris Hemsworth’s Crime 101 took the weekend’s bronze medal. Like our first two films, Crime 101 also debuted this week, thieving away $15.1 million from domestic audiences. Its global crime network brought in $29.8 million in total.
Send Help found itself drowning a little among the new wave of competition, sinking from first to fourth. That’s despite its earnings only falling by less than 1% from last weekend. It brought in $9 million stateside, which brings its domestic cume to $49.6 million and its worldwide total to $73.8 million.
Rounding out the top five was Solo Mio, which likewise took a hit in its placement on account of the new releases. It fell from its previous spot in second place, and its earnings, too, barely dropped—a mere 2.9%. This week, it married itself to $6.8 million. With no international numbers to calculate, its total earnings sit domestically at $18.5 million.
As for other new releases, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die didn’t have the best luck nor much fun with audiences. It opened to $3.6 million and took seventh place. Who knows? Maybe time loop number 118 will procure better results.
Audiences gave Cold Storage the cold shoulder, too. It debuted in 14th place by earning $1.1 million.
