A leading contender at the Golden Globe Awards this coming Sunday, the film earned mixed reviews from critics and a C+ CinemaScore from audiences. This so-called “catch-up” weekend made it a little difficult for the Christmas newcomers to make a huge impact, however, especially when the big wide-releases this time were either politically charged (the Dick Cheney movie “Vice”) or poorly reviewed (”Holmes and Watson,” which is in the single digits on Rotten Tomatoes and got a deathly D+ CinemaScore).Īnnapurna’s “Vice,” starring Christian Bale as the former vice president, came out on top for the new films, grossing $7.8 million from the weekend and $17.7 million since its Christmas opening. “But the weekend after, most of these films in the top 10 got a bounce.” People are busy and distracted,” said Comscore’s senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian. “There is a bit of a lull on the weekend leading into Christmas. But the biggest bump of all came for Disney’s “Ralph Breaks the Internet,” which was up nearly 40% in its sixth weekend in theaters, with $6.5 million. The Jennifer Lopez-led “Second Act,” which got off to a slow start last weekend, also found itself up 11%, with $7.2 million in seventh place. Up 11%, “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” got fourth with $18.3 million, and “The Mule,” up 24%, took fifth with $11.8 million. “Mary Poppins Returns” ended the weekend up an estimated 19%, in second place, with $28 million, while “Bumblebee,” down only 5%, settled in third with $20.5 million. ![]() Vollack was gracious in her Tony wins, saying “any show that managed to perform in this last season actually deserves a Tony.Although other films in theaters were left in “Aquaman’s” wake, more than a few in the top 10 experienced an uncommon uptick in returns this weekend. Many took to Twitter in amazement after seeing Frost moonwalk during his performance of “Smooth Criminal.” The Tony Awards reached 4.22 million viewers on June 12, a bounce-back for Broadway after last year’s show in September was seen by 2.75 million people. “I do think that there is amazing talent in the world, and we’re looking forward to finding people for years to come and in different companies hopefully to perform the role,” she said. On Broadway, the show been sold out every performance since the Tonys and advance sales are said to be booming.īecause “MJ” is not a star vehicle, Vollack hopes to be able to replicate finding someone as talented as Frost to lead other companies. Vollack spoke from London, leading to speculation a West End production might be mounted. “MJ” plans a national tour kicking off in Chicago in July 2023, with a stop in Charlotte, North Carolina, that September. “MJ” is set during Jackson’s 1992 “Dangerous” tour prep and melts back in time to explore his youth, with songs like “ABC,” “Black or White,” “Blame it on the Boogie,” “Bad,” “Billie Jean,” “Off the Wall” and “Thriller.” It also won Christopher Wheeldon the Tony for best choreography. Others musicals saw more modest gains, like “Six” and “Paradise Square,” with a show-stealing performance by best actress in a musical Joaquina Kalukango. “That’s one of the benefits of being able to be Tony nominated is that you have the opportunity to perform on the Tonys and to be able to put our show in front of so many people who are avid theater lovers,” said Lia Vollack, the lead producer.Īnother show that got a post-Tonys bounce was “A Strange Loop,” which grossed $845,313 for the week ending June 19, a jump of $168,998 over the previous week and a new high for the show. That’s the biggest box office jump last week on Broadway and a new high for the show. The Michael Jackson show may have lost the best new musical crown to “A Strange Loop,” but it won the best actor in a musical trophy for Myles Frost and pulled in $1,661,000 during the week after the Tonys.
