Final run.

 

Domestic Total Gross: $30,573,626

 

Off a 6.4M OD, it had a multiple of 4.75x. I looked at other Christmas Day openers, up until 2001, and H&W can proudly boast it only has the second-worst legs. Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem garnered a multiple of 4.39x. But yeah, the fact that 47 Ronin had better legs says a lot.

This seems like the type of movie Peter Faralley normally woulda directed

[MrGlass2]

Such a waste, a Ferrell/Reilly comedy with that OD could have had a very nice run after Christmas - counter-programming big family blockbusters like Aquaman or MPR - all the way to March.

For me, Will Ferrell has been on a cold streak since Get Hard in 2015. With Holmes and Watson, the fact that he teamed up with his most beloved costar and yet managed to make arguably the biggest stink bomb of his career is probably gonna make more fans question their excitement for the next Will Ferrell movie.

I always thought the idea for this film was horrible.

Just under Super Troopers 2 domestic.

Get Hard and Daddy’s Home 2 i like. The House was terrible. Daddy’s Home 1 sucked. And this sounds like a train wreck from hell

[Maxmoser3]

Stranger Than Fiction and Semi Pro(which I like) made more than This

[Jay Beezy]

The whole “turning the world’s greatest detective into an idiot” schtick sounds like sketch material, not a feature length movie. If you want to watch something like that, Pete Holmes’ Batman videos are probably the better option.

Hence the word "normally" in his comment. 😉

Not sure where else to put this, but Adam McKay and Will Ferrell are splitting. Time to say goodbye to future good Will Ferrell movies.

And if we’re being real Adam mckay’s will Ferrell movies are much better than his Oscar bait, if he’s just gonna continue going down his new lane as “what if Michael Moore made narrative features instead of docs”

[MrGlass2]

Farrelly brothers, Cohen brothers, now Ferrell and McKay. End of an era.

I thought maybe McKay would direct Ferrell one more time before this, but I guess not.

Heart breaking honestly. I wish Ferrell, Reilly, and Mckay would've gotten that border patrol comedy off the ground with McKay directing. That sounded like it could've been great with them 3.

Even if they hadn’t split, a border patrol comedy probably would not fit in very well today regardless of who was behind it.
