In a tale of contradictions, Elizabeth Banks’ B-movie slaughterhouse Cocaine Bear and the Lionsgate feature Jesus Revolution surpassed expectations.
Cocaine Bear collected $23.09 million, while Jesus Revolution picked up $15.5 million in their debut weeks at the domestic box office, per Deadline. That was enough for second and third-place finishes, though neither was able to unseat last week’s champ, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, from its perch.
The Marvel sequel remained atop the crowd but took a massive 69.6% tumble in its sophomore frame, the worst for an MCU title. The sequel collected $32.2 million in Week 2, bringing its running domestic total to $167.2 million. Worldwide, Ant-Man has earned $363.6 million. Will it collect enough to top Ant-Man ($519M) or Ant-Man and the Wasp ($622M)? Time will tell.
This week sees the release of Michael B. Jordan’s latest entry in the Rocky franchise, Creed III. Except, this time he’s doing it without Sylvester Stallone, which should make for an interesting subplot heading into the weekend. Reviews are strong out of the gate, as are initial projections (somewhere between $28M and $35M). This is a big test for Jordan, let’s see if he has what it takes to knock out expectations.
