\n\tA group of misfits and outsiders are making headlines at the box office after winning over audiences in a major way.<\/p>\n

\n\tMarvel and Disney Thunderbolts*<\/em> soared to the top of the domestic chart with an estimated domestic opening of $76 million, slightly ahead of expectations for a superhero pic that features lesser-known characters. While Marvel and Disney would no doubt have liked north of $80 million, playability will be the biggest factor in terms of how the $180 million movie legs out.<\/p>\n

\n\tOverseas, the star-studded ensemble pic led by Florence Pugh and Sebastian Stan pulled in $86.1 million for a global start of $162.1 million; again, in line with expectations.<\/p>\n

\n\tThunderbolts*<\/em> is a pivotal moment for Kevin Feige\u2018s Marvel, which hopes to launch a new flagship franchise.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt drew impressive audience sentiment across the board, including boasting a glowing 95 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, making it the third-highest score for a title in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a tie with Spider-Man: Far From Home<\/em> and behind Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings<\/em> (98 percent) and Spider-Man: No Way Home<\/em> (97 percent). And on PostTrak exit polls, audiences are giving it a rave 4.5 out of 5 stars, while it received an A- CinemaScore.<\/p>\n

\n\tDirected by Jake Schreier, the film brings together a band of dysfunctional outsiders \u2014 and lesser-known comic book characters \u2014 who discover their potential to be heroes when working together. In addition to Pugh (Yelena Belova) and Stan (Bucky Barnes), the movie features Wyatt Russell (John Walker), David Harbour (Alexei Shostakov\/Red Guardian), Lewis Pullman (Bob), Hannah John-Kamen (Ghost), Olga Kurylenko (Taskmaster) and Julia Louis-Dreyfus (CIA director Valentine Allegra de Fontaine).<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the film, Louis-Dreyfus\u2019 villainous character has positioned a number of MCU loners and rejects to kill each other for her own nefarious reasons. But they instead decide to team up in response to the obvious setup, bringing along newcomer Bob, who suffers from a mental illness that has catastrophic consequences after he\u2019s subjected to cruel experimentation.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Marvel pic is contributing to the continuing boom in moviegoing currently underway at the box office, with ticket sales for the weekend up 95 percent over least year when Marvel sat on the sidelines and The Fall Guy<\/em> kicked off summer to disapp<\/a>ointing results. And year-to-date revenue is now up nearly 16 percent over 2024.<\/p>\n

\n\tRyan Coogler\u2019s sleeper sensation Sinners<\/em> enjoyed a phenomenal third weekend as it came in second with more than $33 million. The supernatural vampire pic, from Warner Bros., continues to break all the rules and fell a scant 27 percent or less for a domestic tally north of $180 million.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd Warners decision to hold \u201crowdy\u201d screenings of A Minecraft Movie<\/em> seems so have paid off as it climbed back up the chart to third place with an estimated $13 million to $14 million as it approaches the $400 million mark domestically and $1 billion globally<\/p>\n

\n\tNo other major studio dared open a new wide release opposite the Marvel event pic. Elsewhere, Alec Baldwin\u2019s controversial-laced Rust<\/em><\/a> finally opened in select theaters while also being available on premium VOD. The Western flailed in its debut \u2014 at least in cinemas \u2014 with an estimated opening gross of just $25,000 from 115 theaters. The movie opens four years after Baldwin, who co-wrote and produced the film, accidentally discharged a weapon he thought only had blanks. A live round was in the chamber, and the bullet fatally wounded cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and also hit director-wirter Joel Souza. <\/p>\n

\n\tBaldwin paid a settlement to Hutchins\u2019 surviving family and Matthew Hutchins, the widower, was made an executive producer on the project. In a recent interview, Souza said the family ultimately wanted to finish the film, and asked that he return. But now, he says he regrets ever making the movie.<\/p>\n

\n\tMore to come<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
