‘Thunderbolts*’ Settles At $76M Opening, ‘Sinners’ Full Of Grace With $33M, ‘Rust’ Not Good – Sunday AM Box Office Update
Disney/Marvel Studios' 'Thunderbolts*' is off to a good start with $11M in Thursday night previews.
There can be agita in the industry when a movie doesn’t exactly wow and kick off summer with a $100M-plus opening, however Thunderbolts* start isn’t anything to worry about knowing that Memorial Day is teed up for a possible record-breaking 4-day weekend with Disney’s Lilo & Stitch eyeing at least $120M and Paramount’s Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning at $80M+. Not to rain on Disney’s parade, because, really, exhibition is thankful for a deep bench of weekend with all titles doing $146M, but there wasn’t a great degree of FOMO for this antiheros movie about Yelena Belova, Winter Soldier, etc; they aren’t exactly a gang of Paul Kerseys multiplied by five with questionable and acerbic methods. Audiences gave it a solid A- as compared to the B- they smacked Captain America: Brave New World with, and the Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, Wyatt Russell, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Hannah John-Kamen and Geraldine Viswanathan-led movie has a great 71% definite recommend on PostTrak.
