'Jackass Forever' Set to Lead Box Office With $20 Million-Plus Opening - TheWrap

Paramount’s “Jackass Forever” has taken over the No. 1 box office spot that has been held by “Spider-Man: No Way Home” for almost all of the past month. The MTV revival earned $9.6 million from 3,604 locations on opening day and is now set for a $20 million-plus opening weekend.

A $20 million launch would be the lowest for the “Jackass” series even before inflation, as the first film back in 2002 opened to $22.7 million. But “Jackass Forever” is still set to easily turn a profit given its $10 million production budget. Reception for the film is also the highest ever for the “Jackass” series with an 87% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes and a B+ from audiences on CinemaScore.

In second is Lionsgate’s “Moonfall” with $3.5 million on opening day from 3,446 locations and an estimated $9.4 million weekend total. The Roland Emmerich space disaster film is neck-and-neck with “Spider-Man: No Way Home” for the No. 2 spot, as the Marvel film is estimated to earn $9 million in its eighth weekend.

This result for “Moonfall” is slightly below the $10 million pre-release projection set by Lionsgate, which is only covering marketing and distribution costs for the film as its $138 million production budget was independently financed via sales deals by Emmerich and his production studio Centropolis Entertainment. “Moonfall” has received tepid reviews with a 42% Rotten Tomatoes score and a C+ on CinemaScore.

Paramount’s “Scream” and Universal/Illumination’s “Sing 2” complete the top 5, with both estimated to earn in the $4 million range this weekend. “Scream” will bring its domestic total to $68 million after four weekends, while “Sing 2” rises to $139 million after seven weekends.

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
