Box office: Panda, Dune show strong legs while a handful of new films barely make a dent
The week's top new North American release, Arthur the King, didn't even play in Canadian theatres.
Another late update this week. Whoops.
There’s not a whole lot to say about this week’s top ten:
The top two films were, once again, Kung Fu Panda 4 and Dune: Part Two.1
Both films are showing some of the best “legs” of any blockbuster this decade.
None of the other films did particularly well.
The top new film was a Mark Wahlberg movie about a dog, Arthur the King, that grossed only $7.6 million in the US and wasn’t released at all in Canada because it’s going straight to Amazon Prime here.
Imaginary made $5.5 million in its second weekend, while every other film, including three new wide releases, made less than $3 million.
The “faith-based” surge is more-or-less over, with Easter still two weeks away. The Chosen fell out of the top ten, Ordinary Angels is just about gone too, and Cabrini had the steepest second-week drop of any Angel Studios release.
