Deadline.com is reporting that the Taylor Swift “Eras” tour movie is still doing Swifty business, and that despite falling off a cliff from its opening weekend (73%), it takes in just over $31 million.
It did fading business during the week, but by midnight Sunday, “The Eras Tour” will have cleared $130 million in North America. Take that, Ticketmaster.
But you have to be impressed that a three and a half hour Martin Scorsese epic that looks like what it is — a very long made-for-Apple TV+ streaming movie — is managing to sell over $23+ million in tickets. A big Friday is driving
Killers of the Flower Moon” to that grand opening.
It’s a big, important story and I’m glad he chose to tell it. Needed a lot of trimming for pace and punch and pathos, though.
“Paw Patrol” is benefiting from that lack of kiddie/”family” entertainment with another weekend in the top five — over $4.55 million. But it’s not A-list animation, and while $56-57 million is nothing to sneeze at, consider that Disney re-releasing “Nightmare Before Christmas” is tallying $4.1 million, plainly this is a case more of an audience starved of something to take the kids to than any “Paw” magic.
“Exorcist: Believer” has one last weekend in the top five before “Five Nights at Freddies’ chases it into the ether next weekend, just under $4 million for an Ellen Burstyn curtain call turn.
“Saw X” continues to chew up the leftovers, $3.585 per The Numbers.
“A Haunting in Venice” adds another $1.1, which puts it over $104 million worldwide.
