“The Lost City” relied on the now relatively old-fashioned concept of star power to propel the Paramount Pictures release above expectations at the box office. Bullock has long been a singular top draw, but her great appeal had in recent years been felt most on Netflix, where 2018's “Bird Box” became one of the streamer's most-watched releases. And Tatum, after a hiatus from lead roles, recently proved his popularity with the still-playing hit “Dog” , which he co-directed.
And theaters are hoping “The Lost City” kicks off a new period of stability. The first three months of 2022 have belonged overwhelming to “Spider-Man: No Way Home” , “Uncharted” and “The Batman,” which fell to second in its fourth week of release and added $20.5 million to its domestic total of $332 million.
The specialty box office also got a lift from A24's “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” which opened with $50,965 from 10 locations. The film, an existential sci-fi comedy starring Michelle Yeoh, first premiered - like “The Lost City” - at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, earlier this month.
I don’t think it’s because of star power, bat man is just shit
Never seen a movie try harder to be funny and fail this miserably. 1/5
