The first big studio wide release in three weeks, Paramount’s The Lost City, kicked off at 3,400 theaters yesterday at 4PM for a $2.5M take. I understand that number doesn’t include any of the previous weekend Fandango previews or those at the AMC earlier in the week. The movie is expected to hit $25M, but it would not be shocking if it lands in the $30M-range. Rotten Tomatoes reviews are at 75% fresh.
The top theaters for the Sandra Bullock-Channing Tatum-Brad Pitt-Daniel Radcliff romantic comedy adventure came from Los Angeles, Orlando, New York City, Albuquerque, Salt Lake City, Pharr TX, Miami, Colorado Springs, El Paso, and Sacramento showing a good breadth of regional appeal for the pic.
The comp that’s being used for The Lost City is Free Guy right now, another original comedy, which did $2.2M in Thursday night previews, for a $10.4M Friday and $28.3M opening weekend. Bullock’s previous theatrical release, not counting Netflix movies The Unforgivable and Bird Box, was the all-star ensemble Warner Bros/Village Roadshow’s Ocean’s Eight in June 2018 which did $4M in Thursday night previews before filing a $15.5M Friday, $41.6M.
Among regular films in release, Warner Bros.’ The Batman ends its third week with $48.1M for a running total of $311.4M at 4,302 theaters. The Matt Reeves directed DC movie looks to do around $20M this weekend. Thursday is estimated to be $2.5M, -11% from Wednesday.
