FantasticBeasts continues to disappoint, dropping 46% in its third weekend at the box office. The prequel will push its domestic total past $78 million through Sunday and has no hope of matching its $200 million production price tag in North America.
The Bad Guys
As it turns out, the domestic box office did see a new wide release this weekend with “Memory,” the latest grizzled actioner from the grizzled practitioner Liam Neeson. The Briarcliff Entertainment and Open Road Films didn’t make much of an impression in its opening, taking in $1.09 million on Friday.
Neeson plays a hitman struggling with the onset of Alzheimer’s in “Memory,” while action aficionado Martin Campbell directs. In his review, “isn’t terribly convincing, but it’s at least trying for something more serious than most.” “The Bad Guys” is still on its way to becoming an out-and-out financial success. The family-friendly creature feature carries a production budget of $70 million. Globally, the film should push to $100 million over the weekend.
