‘The Exorcist: Believer’ Possess Box Office With $27.5 Million Debut

No one knew how big this was going to be, or is going to be but Universal/Blumhouse’s feature take on beloved horror videogame, Five Nights at Freddy‘s is eyeing a $50M+ start possibly even more. At that level, it’s the second-best opening of this autumn’s B.O. behind Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour ($92.8M).

Broadway box office held steady last week with total grosses for 28 shows tallying up to $28,106,860, with 224,832 ticket buyers paying an average $125.01 per seat.

There were two major new entries this weekend at the international box office, one local (Tamil thriller Leo: Bloody Sweet) and one from Hollywood. Starting with the latter, Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon from Apple, Paramount and Imperative Entertainment, had a big opening with $21M in 63 offshore markets and No. 1s in 24 of those, including France, Germany, Australia, Spain, Netherlands and Switzerland. The global bow, factoring in its strong domestic opening, was $44M; great for a period movie with a long running time and at a moment when talent could not promote it due to the actors strike.

Naman Ramachandran Lokesh Kanagaraj‘s Tamil-language “Leo: Bloody Sweet,” starring Vijay, debuted in third position at the global box office over the latest weekend, with $31.2 million planetwide, according to estimates released on Sunday by Comscore. The weekend was won by Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro and Lily Gladstone, with $44 million, followed by “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” with $41.5 million. However, in terms of worldwide cumulative among new releases, “Leo” scored $48.5 million (after four days) compared with the $44 million earned by “Killers of the Flower Moon.” An homage to David Cronenberg’s 2005 film “A History of Violence,” “Leo” released on Oct.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter Taylor Swift’s movie is presiding over Martin Scorsese’s in North American theaters, but the “Mean Streets” director has outstripped the “Mean” singer at the international box office. Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon,” a crime epic starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, has generated $21 million from 63 overseas markets. In terms of weekend ticket sales, it’s pacing ahead of Swift’s “The Eras Tour,” which added $10.5 million in its second weekend of release.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter Martin Scorsese‘s star-studded crime epic “Killers of the Flower Moon” impressed in its box office debut, collecting $23 million from 3,628 North American theaters over the weekend. The film also brought in $21 million from 63 international territories for a global total of $44 million.

Killers of the Flower Moon” earned $9.4 million from 3,628 theaters on its opening day, a figure that includes $2.6 million in Thursday previews. The epic-length historical drama is now projecting a finish of $23.5 million over the three-day opening frame, tracking behind the second weekend of Swift’s “Eras Tour” concert film.

Jordan Moreau This weekend at the box office is a showdown of two pop culture titans: Martin Scorsese and Taylor Swift. The “Mean Streets” director and “Mean” singer each have a movie facing off this weekend, “Killers of the Flower Moon” and “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.” Scorsese’s latest movie has so far made $2.6 million in Thursday previews at the box office. “Eras Tour” made $5.9 million on Thursday, Oct.

The AMC distributed Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour returned yesterday, Thursday, at around noon after a three day pause, pulling in $5.9M per industry estimates. This takes the running total of the Sam Wrench directed concert film to $98.7M at 3,855 theaters. Meanwhile, Apple Original Films big splash into wide theatrical releases with Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, distributed by Paramount, drew $2.6M in previews that began at 2PM. Why so early? The Leonardo DiCaprio Robert De Niro movie is 3 hours and 26 minutes long.

EXCLUSIVE: Here’s an eyebrow raiser in the wake of a zany box office season turned upside down by the actors strike, and ruled by Taylor Swift: Universal/Blumhouse‘s feature take of videogame, Five Nights at Freddy’s, is shaping up for an opening around $40M. That would be the second-best opening at the fall box office YTD after Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour‘s $92.8M start. The pic hits theaters and Peacock on Oct. 27.

Merrily We Roll Along, the Sondheim revival starring Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Groff and Lindsay Mendez, cemented its place among Broadway’s top earners during its opening week, grossing $1,706,962, filling all seats at the Hudson and securing the highest average ticket price with $220.88.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” is towering over the global box office with estimates of $126 million to $130 million in its first weekend of release. It’s a seismic start for any concert film, but this is particularly impressive because it was announced just six weeks ago and unspooled on the big screen with minimal marketing dollars. “The Eras Tour” which is produced by Swift and distributed by AMC Theatres, collected a projected $31 million to $33 million from 94 international markets.

Taylor Swift seems set to do for the UK cinema industry what she has pulled off for the live entertainment industry, ie provide a much-needed cash injection.

Refresh for latest…: Just as it came in lower than hoped for domestically, Universal/Blumhouse/Morgan Creek’s The Exorcist: Believer didn’t fully convert overseas audiences, summoning a $17.9M international box office debut for $45.1M global. The R-rated David Gordon Green-directed reboot/sequel did see some of its 52 launch markets give it a No. 1 start, while in like-for-likes, the bow is above M3GAN, Evil Dead Rise, Scream VI and Smile. (As regards the latter, recall that it legged out with terrific holds, so the comparison may not stick down the line since scores on Believer are not good, and Taylor Swift is on deck.) 

A24’s Dicks: The Musical had one of the best limited openings of the year, grossing $220,867 on seven screens in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. It expands in NY/LA/SF next weekend ahead of a national rollout starting 10/20 for the R-rated romp directed by Larry Charles (Borat, Seinfeld).
