“Bob Marley” lives!
The reggae icon’s music endures, and his image and story have audiences lining up around the world for a bio pic that earned mixed reviews (I liked it).
A big Valentine’s Day opening, and a big Friday have “Bob Marley: One Love” opening over $46 million, Wed.-Monday (Presidents Day). It almost earned $28 this weekend alone.
That’s almost twice the take that Sony’s Marvel mess, “Madame Web,” is managing. It’s on track to do an underwhelming $24 million over that period. Ok “disastrous.” The weekend only-take is about $15.
“Argylle” is still pulling down $4 million this weekend.
“Migration” has no animated kid movie competition until March and is adding $3 million to its bottom line.
“Wonka” is below that and in fifth place.
And “Mean Girls: The Musical” has cleared the $100 million mark.
The box office isn’t “back,” but even taking into account two holidays, that’s a welcome change from the empty cinemas of the last couple of weeks.
