Minecraft Continues to be Box Office Bedrock: Weekend Box Office Results (Apr. 11-13)
A Minecraft Movie just became the second highest grossing movie based on a videogame with
$278.8M, passing
Sonic the Hedgehog 3's $236.1M. That's in large part due to having the fifth best weekend ever for a movie based on a videogame with
$78.5M. That's also the second best weekend for videogame movie, behind
The Super Mario Bros. Movie's $92.3M.
A Minecraft Movie literally doing videogame numbers.
Now we get to the new movies. And there were a slew of them released this weekend. And it's fitting that on the weekend before Easter,
The King of Kings came through in a major way with
$19.3M. That's a great showing especially with what it finished ahead of.
One of those movies that one might expect to do better was
The Amateur with
$14.8M. That's right in line with Jason Statham's recently released
A Working Man's $15.5M. The difference?
A Working Man was made for
$40M while
The Amateur was made for
50% more at
$60M. The good news,
The Amateur is rocking a solid
B+ cinemascore to A Working Man's straight
B. And
A Working Man is already made
$33.4M so perhaps
The Amateur will have just a little bit better legs?
Alex Garland is back with
Warfare which could only manage
$8.3. That's a far cry from
Civil War which opened on this very weekend last year with
$25.5M.
Warfare losing the battle and the war to
Civil War. And yet another commercial disappointment from A24.
Universal dropped another PG-13 thriller -
Drop which opened with
$7.3M. That might be miniscule and it's certainly lower than their own
A Woman in the Yard's 9.3M. However, it was only made for
$11M. So
Drop's $7.3M is
66% of its production budget.
