Just to correct an earlier assessment, made on Friday, “Furiosa” is actually not going to finish in second place at the box-office this weekend. Rather, George Miller’s film, which earned $10.5M, has been bested by two films: “Garfield” ($14M) and “IF” ($10.8M). Overall, a very bad weekend for theatrical and I bet many exhibitors are counting the days until “Bad Boys: Ride or Die” opens on Friday.
Paul Greengrass’ "The Uprising," starring Andrew Garfield, opened to $3.2M from 2,068 theaters this weekend. Yikes. The budget hasn’t been disclosed, but is said to be in the $20-$30M range.
