I read on THR that The Dressmaker comes out this weekend in the US... I saw it about a year ago, it's fantastic. If you want to watch a proper western, go see that. It's fab.
What does her performance in Joy (which I agree was fantastic) have to do with her draw power?
i enjoyed Joy a lot but honestly stick any other young pretty actress in her role and it woulda made the same amount of money. Sorry, I refuse to accept that opening a movie to $17M demonstrates any kind of star power.
Finishing second is Universal's Warcraft with an estimated $10.7 million, a better start than expected as it is now looking at an opening around $27 million or so, but the story remains its status in China, which is now around $145 million after just four days. The film's international total is now estimated at $276.9M as of end of day yesterday.
OS without china it has made 130M which is pretty damn good considering that does not include Korea, Mexico, Eastern Europe, Australia, Japan and many more territories.
