Add this movie to your Flicks List and we'll let you know when the movie is available in Cinema.US moviegoers could choose violence, sex or family-friendly fare this weekend with three diverse new offerings that all drew healthy numbers at the North American box office.
The Lego Batman Movie - which isn't due for release in New Zealand until April - took the top spot with US$55.6 million, dominating Fifty Shades Darker, which attracted US$46.8 million, according to studio estimates. The spinoff of 2014's Lego Movie benefited from good reviews and a lack of competition in the family space, which is expected to help it maintain its pace going into the holiday weekend, when kids are out of school. A whopping 48 per cent of opening weekend audiences was under 25. It also bodes well for Warner Bros' next Lego spinoff, The Lego Ninjago Movie, set for September. US audiences were slightly less curious to catch up with the exploits of Christian Grey and Ana Steele the second time around. The sequel didn't compare to Fifty Shades of Grey's $85.2 million debut in 2015. Nick Carpou, Universal Pictures' president of domestic theatrical distribution, said the first movie debuted in a "perfect storm". The film adaptation of the best-selling book had gained immense interest and Valentine's Day fell on a Saturday in 2015, making the movie a date-night destination.
This year, the holiday lands on a Tuesday. "This is a great start," Carpou said, noting that the CinemaScore from audiences is stronger for the sequel. "The story will be told through the first part of this week." Fifty Shades Darker fared much better abroad, bringing in US$100.1 million and topping international charts. The other R-rated sequel in theaters this weekend, John Wick: Chapter 2 took third place. With US$30 million, it more than doubled the debut of the original. The Keanu Reeves hit man flick became a sleeper hit on the small screen, and that goodwill helped bolster interest in the follow-up, which is also getting strong reviews. "People really love its unapologetic violence," said Paul Dergarabedian, a senior media analyst for box office tracker comScore. Rounding out the top five were holdovers Split, the M Night Shyamalan psychological thriller that added $9.3 million, for a total of US$112.3 million in earnings, and Oscar contender Hidden Figures with US$8 million, boosting its total to US$131.5 million.
