Old School. Biblically Independent.

Sometimes, you just need a big monster alien to come and save the day. Disney now owns the Predator franchise, and it was the weekend’s apex predator with the latest addition to the mythos. Predator: Badlands was strongly received by fans, and it made an impressive $40 million debut, which is a surprising peak for the series. After a bleak October, this is a small boom. But down the list, things remain dark.
At number four is Sarah’s Oil, a faith-based biopic of Sarah Rector, a young Black girl who became rich through an oil allotment in Oklahoma. It’s not related to Lorenzo’s Oil. Also, Zachary Levi is in it. It earned $4.458 million from 2,410 locations.
One place below that is Nuremberg, a historical drama about the trial of Hermann Göring, starring Rami Malek and Russell Crowe. This one premiered at TIFF and inspired a few headlines about how the film was important and timely, but the reviews were also middling, and audiences didn’t seem drawn to it. That’s evidenced by the gross: $4,147,411 from 1,802 theatres.
A new Lynne Ramsay film is always a cause for celebration. Die My Love stars Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson as a couple who move to Montana, where things fall apart amid postpartum frenzy. MUBI put down a lot of money for this drama following its premiere at Cannes, which was encouraging, given that Ramsay has never been a box office draw. JLaw is, but a primal arthouse drama about motherhood and feminine rage is maybe not one for fans of her blockbuster work. From 1,983 theatres, Die My Love earned $2,830,924.
At number 11 is Christy, the boxing biopic starring Sydney Sweeney. It grossed $1.305 million from 2,011 locations. It earned less than Tron: Ares did in its fifth week of release. According to Box Office Mojo, it’s the 12th-worst wide opening of all time in North America. Ouch. I’m sure a lot will be written about this and whether or not Sweeney’s good jeans and voting record impacted the grosses. Frankly, I think audiences just weren’t interested enough in this story, the reviews weren’t good enough, and Sweeney is not an A-Lister with crowd pull, despite the hype.
In limited release news: Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value earned $200,000 from four locations (how much of that was just from screenings attended by all of Stellan Skarsgard’s kids?); two-hander drama Peter Hujar’s Day took in $47,100 from four theatres; and Natchez, a documentary about the Mississippi town and its reliance on antebellum tourism, made $9,026 from one place.
This coming week sees the release of the magician threequel Now You See Me: Now You Don’t and Edgar Wright’s adaptation of the Stephen King classic, The Running Man.
