For the weekend of April 13-15, 2018, Dwayne Johnson has another #1 movie on his resume. Rampage blasted through the competition to a $34 million opening. However, with a $120 million production, it's going to need superior overseas performance to break even.
The poorly reviewed Truth or Dare benefited from those frightening face contortions in the marketing campaign to manage being profitable immediately. It wasn't enough to best the horror movie A Quiet Place, which only dropped 35% in its second week, a very good sign for a movie that opened to over $50 million the week before.
The other new release - Beirut - came out of nowhere and didn't do much better than 7 Days in Entebbe, which also starred Rosamund Pike.
Isle of Dogs added a few more screens, and it's on the way to passing The Fantastic Mr. Fox as Wes Anderson's most successful animated movie. He's made two. In fact, here's how specific Wes Anderson films are. His highest-grossing movie was The Grand Budapest Hotel, at $59 million domestic.
I FEEL PRETTY with Amy Schumer, Michelle Williams and Emily Ratajkowski.
SUPER TROOPERS 2 with Jay Chandrasekhar, Rob Lowe and Kevin Heffernan.
TRAFFIK with Paula Patton, Omar Epps, Roselyn Sanchez and Laz Alonso.
