"Death on the Nile" Slays At Box-Office - Dark Horizons

Death On The Nile Slays At Box Office
20th Century Studios

Kenneth Branagh’s new adaptation of Agatha Christie’s “Death on the Nile” topped the weekend domestic box-office, the film on track to pull in $12.8 million.

That’s less than half the nearly $29 million opening weekend of Branagh’s “Murder on the Orient Express” adaptation a few years ago, though ‘Nile’ currently is scoring better reviews at 66% on Rotten Tomatoes while the B CinemaScore is on par.

The main issue is that the film cost $90 million to make and will need to rely on foreign box-office to make back its coin. Last week’s top earner “Jackass Forever” slipped to second place with $8.05 million – a steep fall of 65% suggesting it won’t have much legs.

Third place saw the new J-Lo and Owen Wilson rom-com “Marry Me” arriving with that set to take in $8 million for the three day. The film is also available now on Peacock.

The other newcomer, the Liam Neeson-led “Blacklight,” opened in fifth and is tracking for a bad $3.6 million start – on part with Neeson’s other action films of late like “The Marksman”. Reviews however have been excruciating, the movie scoring an almost unheard of low of just 6% on Rotten Tomatoes.

“Moonfall” plummeted 71% in its second weekend to earn an estimated $2.85 million – that’s an even worse fall than the 57% dropoff of “Geostorm”. This has raised the question of how quickly the film will be moved to PVOD platforms.

Elizabeth Hurley said it was a "nightmare" working with Matthew Perry on their 2002 film "Serving Sara," which was shot at the height of his drug addiction.  The production had to be abruptly shut down because the "Friends" star needed to enter rehab for two months.  Still, the "Royals" actress doesn’t hold it against Perry, who detailed his addiction struggles in his new memoir, "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing."  Hurley recently told Yahoo! Entertainment it was a "little tough" during the film’s hiatus. But when he returned to filming after two months in rehab he was "fabulous."

Daisy Edgar-Jones in ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’: Film Review - Hollywood Reporter

Image
Where the Crawdads Sing is the kind of tedious moral fantasy that fuels America’s misguided idealism. It’s an attempt at a complex tale about rejection, difference and survival. But the film, like the novel it’s based on, skirts the issues — of race, gender and class — that would texture its narrative and strengthen its broad thesis, resulting in a story that says more about how whiteness operates in a society allergic to interdependence than it does about how communities fail young people. Directed by Olivia Newman ( First Match ), the film adaptation of Delia Owens’ popular and controversial novel of the same name tells the remarkable tale of a shy, reclusive girl raised in the marshes of North Carolina who finds herself embroiled in a grisly police investigation. Her name is Kya ( Daisy Edgar-Jones of Normal People , Fresh and Under the Banner of Heaven ), but to those in the neighboring town, whose residents abhor her, she is known simply as “Marsh Girl.” The account of her...
