As expected, Super Bowl weekend has brought the usual slowdown for the box office, with 20th Century Studios\u2019 \u201cDeath on the Nile\u201d leading the charts with an opening day of $5.1 million from 3,280 theaters and an estimated weekend total of $12-13 million. <\/p>\n

Kenneth Branagh\u2019s adaptation of Agatha Christie\u2019s Poirot murder mystery is a follow-up to \u201cMurder on the Orient Express,\u201d which was released by 20th Century Fox prior to the Disney acquisition in November 2018 and opened to $28.6 million largely off of turnout from moviegoers over the age of 50. Such turnout was not expected for \u201cNile\u201d given the pandemic.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Death<\/p><\/div>\n

Reception for \u201cDeath on the Nile\u201d has been mildly positive with a 65% score on Rotten Tomatoes and a B from audiences on CinemaScore, the latter of which was the same grade given to \u201cOrient Express.\u201d \u201cNile\u201d is one of the last pre-acquisition projects from Fox to be released by Disney, with \u201cThe Bob\u2019s Burgers Movie\u201d coming out on Memorial Day weekend. <\/p>\n

Also opening this weekend is Universal\u2019s romantic comedy \u201cMarry Me,\u201d which is neck-and-neck with the second weekend of Paramount\u2019s \u201cJackass Forever\u201d for No. 2 on the charts with both estimated to earn around $8 million this weekend. \u201cMarry Me,\u201d which has been released simultaneously on Peacock for paid subscribers, has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 57% and a B+ CinemaScore grade. \u201cJackass Forever,\u201d meanwhile, is heading for a 10-day total of around $37 million. <\/p>\n

Holiday powerhouses \u201cSpider-Man: No Way Home\u201d and \u201cSing 2\u201d complete the top 5 with \u201cSpider-Man\u201d in fourth with $7.7 million and \u201cSing 2\u201d with $3 million. By Monday, \u201cSpider-Man: No Way Home\u201d will pass $760 million in domestic grosses and in doing so will pass the North American run of \u201cAvatar,\u201d standing only behind \u201cStar Wars: The Force Awakens\u201d and \u201cAvengers: Endgame\u201d on the all-time charts. <\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
