. Dinged by mixed reviews, “Beast” opened to a modest $11.5 million from 3,743 North American cinemas.
Directed by Tetsuro Kodama, the well-reviewed “Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero” benefitted from its outsized presence on premium formats, including Imax, 4DX and Dolby Cinemas. The movie played on 327 Imax screens, which accounted for $3.4 million in domestic ticket sales. At Imax, those returns rank as the widest and highest-grossing opening weekend for an anime film.
Jim Orr, Universal’s president of domestic distribution, is encouraged that “Beast” appealed to a broad audience. Among opening weekend crowds, 34% were African American, 26% were Caucasian, 23% were Hispanic and 10% were Asian. Meanwhile 47% of ticket buyers were above the age of 35, skewing slightly older than expected.
In fourth place, Paramount’s “Top Gun: Maverick” pulled in $5.85 million from 2,969 locations in its 13th weekend of release. Tom Cruise’s blockbuster action sequel, which hits home entertainment in the coming days, has grossed an eye-popping $683 million to date, enough to overtake Marvel’s 2018 superhero epic “Avengers: Infinity War” as the sixth-highest grossing domestic release in history. For those keeping track at home, it’s only $17 million away from catching the No.
It's a good film, but it’s a film you can only watch once.
Didn't even realize this was a movie. Let me guess how it went: Peaceful beginning Tragic circumstance Enemy reveal Losing battle Lots of screaming and monologuing Training scenes Winning battle Comic relief joke from Krillin End
