Ah, Sunday! Hollywood’s grandest spectacle, unless you’re talking about the Oscars, of course. While Tinseltown gears up for its final awards soirée, our beloved theaters seem to be suffering from a case of the weekend blues. But fear not, my dear readers, for Hollywood Hrishita is here to guide you through this cinematic maze with a wink and a nudge! 😉
The Deep Dive of "Last Breath"
Imagine this: Focus Features throws "Last Breath" into the ocean of theaters, and it’s barely making ripples. With a projected opening of $7.3 million, it’s not exactly making waves, folks. But hey, it’s a movie about deep-sea divers on a real rescue mission, so maybe it’s just taking its time to resurface! Directed by Alex Parkinson and starring Woody Harrelson, Simu Liu, and Finn Cole, this thriller is hoping to avoid a watery grave thanks to some decent reviews and a B+ from Cinema Score. Go get ’em, divers! 🐠
Captain America’s Wobble
Our dear superhero, "Captain America: Brave New World," is clinging to the top spot like a cat on a hot tin roof, even after taking a nosedive of 68% last weekend. Ouch! It’s like watching your favorite acrobat stumble. But this caped crusader is still expected to surpass the $150 million mark domestically, aiming to outshine "Eternals." Just a few more leaps and bounds, Cap! 🦸♂️
The Monkey Business
Oh, "The Monkey," what a cheeky little horror comedy! Despite its lukewarm C+ grade, it’s hanging in there, earning about $6.2 million on its second weekend. With a budget of $10 million, it’s not monkeying around and could swing past the $24 million mark. Not bad for a mischievous little primate, right? 🐒
Paddington’s Peruvian Adventure
Look who’s back! That charming bear, Paddington, is on another adventure in "Paddington in Peru." With a Friday haul of $970,000 and a projected $4.5 million for the weekend, it’s giving a little nod to "Paddington 2." Who knew a bear in a raincoat could be such a box office darling? 🐻
Dog Man’s Tail-Wagging Triumph
And finally, in fifth place, "Dog Man" is proving that old dogs can indeed learn new tricks. Despite being available for digital rental, it’s still fetching a cool $860,000. With a potential $83 million in sight, this pup is having one heck of a run at the box office! 🐕
Moral of the Story:
When Hollywood’s waves are calm, even a bear and a dog can make a splash.
