‘The Lost City’ Is A Box Office Overachiever!
Sandra Bullock + Channing Tatum + Daniel Radcliff + Brad Pitt = box office mega hit for all three superstar celebrities.
Yes, ‘The Lost City’ is leading the race for 2022 box office hit so far this year, but Marvel will be dropping its first movie for 2022 in April with Morbius. Continue on for more about The Lost City being Box Office gold…
CelebnMovies247.com reports it may have been two years since the theatrical industry was brought to a standstill by the first wave of the pandemic, but one movie is outdoing itself in the box office.
Yes, people are actually going to theaters to see Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum, Daniel Radcliff, and Brad Pitt in ‘The Lost City’ which is reminisant of Romancing the Stone.
And the crazy part of this is, ‘The Lost City’ is not a superhero movie.
As a result, any broad crowd-pleasing blockbuster that comes packing a high concept premise and plenty of star power that isn’t a superhero movie or a sequel debuting to $30 million at the box office is viewed as an absolute win, with The Lost City continuing to overachieve in its opening weekend.
After nabbing a strong $2.5 million from Thursday previews, Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum’s romantic adventure hoovered up in excess of $11.5 million yesterday, which has Adam and Aaron Nee’s latest feature heading for a first frame north of $30 million.
Breaking that down, by the time the dust settles on tomorrow’s numbers, The Lost City will have scored the highest-grossing debut for an original film since Encanto arrived back in November of last year. Every single title to have spent at least one week at the summit of the domestic charts since then has been either a sequel or an adaptation of some kind.
Bottom line, The Lost City takes the crown for the biggest pandemic-era opening for a female-fronted project, so it’s a significant victory all-round
This gives studios hope that maybe other movies that are not superhero movies can be box office gold again.
No offence to the MCU, but the movie industry seems to be saturating screens with Marvel and or DCU movies because they bring in the bucks.
