’2 Guns’ Leads Friday, ‘Smurfs 2′ Bombs

1) 2 Guns- 9.8M Friday, 27.0M Weekend

Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg can add another #1 opening to their name this weekend. 2 Guns should continue to perform moderately well after securing a B+ cinemascore.

2) The Wolverine- 6.4M Friday, 18.7M Weekend, 92M Total

Turn out Wolverine will benefit a lot from The Smurfs 2 failing. However, 18.7M? That’s kind of a huge drop from Week 1, especially for a well reviewed film. If this is real, The Wolverine dropped over 60% from Week 1. Not encouraging.

3) The Smurfs 2- 5.7M Friday, 18M Weekend, 27.5M Total

Looks like the sequel isn’t what the doctor ordered. Maybe the high volume of kids films ended up hurting The Smurfs 2. If so, Percy Jackson and Planes both open next weekend, which won’t help the glut.

4) The Conjuring- 4.1M Friday, 12.5M Weekend, 107.4M Total

5) Despicable Me 2- 3M Friday, 10.1M Weekend, 326.3M Total

6) Grown Ups 2- 2.3M Friday, 7.1M Weekend, 115.2M Total

7) Turbo- 1.9M Friday, 6.2M Weekend, 69.3M Total

8) Red 2- 1.6M Friday, 5.6M Weekend, 45.1M Total

9) The Heat- 1.3M Friday, 4.2M Weekend, 149.1M Total

10) Pacific Rim- 1.1M Friday, 3.6M Weekend, 92.1M Total
