AMC’s “Drop party of a showgirl“The theatrical companion to the release of Taylor Swift’s new album will earn $ 33 million at the checkout this weekend after earning $ 15.8 million from 3,702 theaters on Friday without Thursday previewing.
While about a third of that opening weekend of $ 93 million in Swift’s 2023 SMASH -HIT “ERAS Tour”, it was expected given that the “release party of a showgirl” is a lyric and music video compilation as opposed to the full concert film as “era tour” was.
But as the “Eras Tour”, this publishing party had virtually no marketing costs for AMC theaters, as Swift’s huge presence on social media did all the work that got the word for the pop star’s loyal fans after the film was announced just two weeks ago.
It also serves as a necessary compensation for theaters for Lionsgate’s “Michael”, which would previously be released this early October weekend but was moved to May 2026 to take advantage of an opportunity to become a summer launch title.
Taking others is Warner Bros. ‘”A battle after another,” which holds decent with a $ 11 million second weekend, which is a decline of 50% from its opening of $ 22 million. With just under $ 80 million gathered after eight days in theaters, it is already director Paul Thomas Anderson’s highest gross film in his career.
But compared to previous films from Lead star Leonardo DiCaprio, “One Battle” is getting well during his 2000s and 2010s offers and performs more consistently with $ 68 million domestic/$ 158 million global total of his 2023 film “Killers of the flower moon.” This will mean that “a battle” will probably have to ride its critical and Cinephile note to strong revenue after theater to make a profit, even though Warner has had a profit of SEK 4+ billion.
This week’s big Dude is the A24’s “The Smashing Machine” with $ 2.6 million from 3,345 theaters on Friday, which sets it in line for an opening weekend of $ 6.2 million. By comparison, A24’s wrestling biopics “The Iron Claw” opened for $ 6.7 million over four days on the Christmas holidays in 2023 from 2,774 theaters.
While Dwayne Johnson has earned the best reviews of his career for his performance as MMA-Fighter Mark Kerr, “The Smashing Machine” will be the lowest opening weekend in his career, and slipped below $ 8.5 million 3-day Thanksgiving opening of its 2010-action movie “faster”.
In addition to his performance, the reception for “The Smashing Machine” has been good but not good and earned Rat tomatoes Points of 73% critics and 79% audience together with a B- on Cinemascore.
