David O. Russell\u0027s star\u002Dstudded 1930s mystery \u0022Amsterdam\u0022 flopped and the children\u0027s book adaptation \u0022Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile\u0022 debuted softly.
Neither new release caught fire with moviegoers but the disappointment was most acute for “Amsterdam,” a poorly reviewed $80 million screwball romp starring Christian Bale, Margot Robbie and John David Washington. The 20th Century Studios production, co-funded by New Regency and released by the Walt Disney Co., opened with just $6.
The best news for Hollywood over the weekend was a sign that adult audiences, after two pandemic-plagued seasons, may be eager to come out for the fall’s top awards contenders. Todd Field’s “Tar,” starring Cate Blanchett as a world-renown conductor, debuted with $160,000 in four New York and Los Angeles theatres, good for a stellar $40,000 per-theatere average.
