Timing is everything in Hollywood.
Angel Studios is reaping benefits from launching their religious movie “The King of Kings” close to Easter. Over the weekend, it ranked as the third highest-grossing film, demonstrating a minimal 10% decline from its initial release.
The movie has now earned an additional $17 million, bringing its total earnings in the U.S. to $45 million. While this isn’t on par with the box office success of “The Sound of Freedom,” Angel Studios are still pleased with the result.
So would most movie studios.
Director Ryan Coogler, known for “Creed,” shook up the box office once again with his latest horror movie, “Sinners.” This film is rich in music, culture, mysticism, and more. Despite its lengthy runtime of 2 hours and 15 minutes, it managed to avoid being a flop at the box office.
So could its slow-burn setup.
The initial concept of the movie was actually its downfall. Nowadays, audiences have become accustomed to reboots, remakes, and sequels. As a result, original stories tend to be underappreciated or ignored.
Not this time.
“Sinners” opened to a hearty $45 million. Even better?
47 years have passed since a horror film first received an “A” CinemaScore rating, and this latest production is the one that broke that record, being the highest-rated horror movie since its initial poll was conducted.
For the movie to become a genuine success, it’ll likely take more than just what’s shown on screen. Given its production cost of $105 million, it must generate substantial revenue at the box office to turn a profit.
The third box office miracle is smaller in scale but still fascinating.
20 years after its original release, a re-release of “Pride & Prejudice” generated approximately $2.7 million from only 1,400 cinemas – an amount very close to what it earned during its first showing in 2005.
Despite appearing small, that figure surpasses the earnings of “The Wedding Banquet” significantly. The recent reboot managed to secure less than a million dollars on approximately 1,100 screens.
Give the people what they want, and they’ll come back to theaters.
