San Andreas led the weekend with a pretty great 53.2M, ahead of expectations of around 40-45M. It is The Rock’s biggest opening as a leading man outside of the Fast and Furious franchise. San Andreas also received an A- from audiences, suggesting the film might also have legs. Aloha managed a B- from audiences, making it the second lowest cinemascore in the Top 10 (above only Poltergeist, which dropped 65% in Week 2. Aloha won’t make it to 25M domestic at this rate. A 6th place opening the weekend before 3 new wide releases will push Aloha almost out of the Top 10 in its second week.
Pitch Perfect 2 continues to be a phenomenon. It’s closing in on outgrossing the original by 100M. A third has to be a foregone conclusion at this point. Mad Max continues to build on its goodwill, and Far From The Madding Crowd aims to please those looking for something a little different. Indie hit I’ll See You In My Dreams continues to do well in limited release.
