One Love doubles Madame Web's numbers on opening weekend

There really is “too much trouble in the world” to go see certain things

Long weekend for movie releases last week. Under the pretext of Valentine's Day, which is celebrated on February 14Two films hit the shelves on Wednesday that couldn't be more different, and have four days to prove their worth; We're talking about Madame Webfrom Sony Pictures, and from Bob Marley: One Lovefrom Paramount, which, in addition, achieved a Uneven box office performance.

Super hero moviewhich just received harsh criticism that even compared it to being terrible Morbius (Sony clearly doesn't know how to make Spider-Man movies outside of Peter Parker.) Still, it surpassed estimates of $25.8 million in the North American market and opened this weekend. 26.2 million. Bad, very bad for a film from such a studio that also takes place in such a known universe and which has been constantly bombarded in the form of advertisements in various media, so bad that the numbers are even worse than those of the 2022 film starring Jared Leto.

in it International marketThat is, what concerns us, Madame Web He didn't fare much better, however, with the opener 25.7 million dollars in 61 markets for a global debut of $51.9 million. And yet still there is hope For the Sony Pictures movie, which is Asian market. Dakota Johnson's film will be released there on March 1, just two weeks after the rest of the world, thus restoring a tradition that seemed to have been lost over the past decade.

Biofilms always work

The other, fun side of the coin is Bob Marley: One Lovea movie that crept into the movie without making too much noise first place These four days, the thing is, biopics usually do well at the box office, even more so if they're about a music icon like Rastafari. Although professional critics were not kind to her either, one love Raised in the United States a total of 52 million Dollars, twice the price of its main competitor.

in Other marketsincluding our images, uploaded by Paramount Pictures 29 million dollars, bringing the total to $81 million. Its budget was “only” 70 million of those millions, although it would still have to generate more to be profitable (you'd have to double your total production cost to do that).

Ziggy MarleyThe son of the famous musician said in a statement: “My family and I are honored by this Amazing answer to Bob Marley: One Love. Like my father's music, this film is for the people and their families A message of peace, love and unity Communicates clearly with audiences around the world.
