‘Illusiono’ Wins with Cheap Magic Tricks, Audiences Don’t Miss the ‘Call’ This Time

 

As we enter into Spring the $100-million M. Night Shyamalan production “Illusiono” opened to $28 million and the horror-action flick “The Call of the Revenant” opened to $22 million. For the latter, that’s great. For the former, not so much. Granted both films received poor reviews and audience feedback is ranging from “what” to “WHAT” so don’t expect either to stick around for very long. February holdovers held their ground as audiences are starting to flock back to them after being scared off by the new releases.

 

  1. Illusiono - $28,501,762
  2. The Call of the Revenant - $22,187,055
  3. The Twenty-One Balloons - $15,190,783 (-28.1%)
  4. The Human Revolution - $13,365,099 (-37.9%)
  5. Bionicle: Trials of the Toa - $7,562,455 (-51.1%)
  6. Danger Calling - $3,511,223 (-57.3%)
  7. Sasquatch - $2,630,551 (-31.8%)
  8. Night Light - $1,977,420 (-49.4%)
  9. The Hunchback of Notre Dame - $1,304,234 (-31.3%)
  10. Truth Is - $1,215,992 (-53.2%)

 

Top 10 gross: $97,446,574 (+20.5%)

‘Torrential’ Floods Box Office

 

Gold Crescent Pictures’ “Torrential” opened above most expectations with a $45 million weekend gross. Turns out people can turn out for disaster-paloozas if they’re in the right mood. With reviews leaning positive and audience feedback being the same, expect this one stick around with light Spring competition coming up. Last week’s two new debuts fell hard as word of mouth hit both.

 

  1. Torrential - $45,033,750
  2. The Twenty-One Balloons - $11,009,562 (-27.5%)
  3. Illusiono - $9,877,232 (-65.3%)
  4. The Human Revolution - $9,355,691 (-30.0%)
  5. The Call of the Revenant - $6,810,466 (-69.3%)
  6. Bionicle: Trials of the Toa - $3,501,944 (-53.7%)
  7. Sasquatch - $2,011,555 (-23.5%)
  8. Night Light - $1,117,965 (-43.5%)
  9. Danger Calling - $1,103,559 (-68.6%)
  10. The Hunchback of Notre Dame - $935,443 (-28.3%)

 

Top 10 gross: $90,757,217 (-6.9%)

‘Academy’, ‘Beach’ Clean Up

 

“Academy” and “On the Beach” livened up the March box office which so far outside of “Torrential” was a bit sagging. However with a very polarized reaction from both critics and audiences, “Academy” is not looking to have the benefit of good legs, but given the kind of movie it is and the audience it targets, there probably never was any expectation of strong legs. “On the Beach” fared better with most critics, but its dour and depressing tone could also hurt its future fortunes. As both films were rated R, audiences not being able to get into either film sought out “Torrential” for a second go instead. Thanks to massive theater losses films like “Night Light” and “Danger Calling” had hefty drops and exited the top 10 allowing “Hunchback” to stay on even though it only grossed half a million dollars.

 

  1. Academy - $41,178,461
  2. On the Beach - $35,611,940
  3. Torrential - $25,701,883 (-42.9%)
  4. The Twenty-One Balloons - $8,950,220 (-18.7%)
  5. The Human Revolution - $5,015,967 (-46.3%)
  6. Illusiono - $3,910,554 (-60.4%)
  7. The Call of the Revenant - $3,150,692 (-53.7%)
  8. Bionicle: Trials of the Toa - $1,897,011 (-45.8%)
  9. Sasquatch - $1,466,950 (-27.1%)
  10. The Hunchback Of Notre Dame - $582,719 (-37.7%)

 

Top 10 gross: $127,466,397 (+40.5%)

‘Beach’, ‘Academy’ Surprisingly Steady as ‘Cello’ Misses a Note

 

Chalk this one up to strong buzz for the former and spring break audiences turning out for the latter as both “On the Beach” and “Academy” were the top two films for a second week, although they switched places. That shouldn’t really be surprising since the lone new wide release “Cello” failed to attract audiences as expected, but what is surprising is just how well both films held. Good on both, one would say. Looking much further down next week’s blockbuster release “The Knight” had a limited opening in 15 theaters and did fairly well with a nearly $65,000 average.

 

  1. On the Beach - $20,751,866 (-41.7%)
  2. Academy - $20,035,197 (-51.3%)
  3. Torrential - $16,240,691 (-36.8%)
  4. The Twenty-One Balloons - $6,190,556 (-30.8%)
  5. Cello - $6,120,554
  6. The Human Revolution - $3,290,852 (-34.4%)
  7. Illusiono - $1,801,067 (-53.9%)
  8. The Call of the Revenant - $1,595,101 (-49.8%)
  9. Bionicle: Trials of the Toa - $1,187,449 (-37.4%)
  10. The Knight - $967,489

 

Top 10 gross: $78,180,822 (-38.7%)

‘Knight’ Conquers Easter

 

After an impressive limited release last week, “The Knight” sprung nationwide this week and gathered enough troops to take the film to an opening over $50 million. The $110 million Doug Liman production should be profitable for Gold Crescent Pictures but audiences were divided over the film’s second act plot turn, ultimately giving it a “B” cinemascore. The poorly received spoof “Action Movie” took second place with $18 million, a bit below initial projections. The remaining holdovers did well over the holiday.

 

  1. The Knight - $52,691,442
  2. Action Movie - $18,755,190
  3. On the Beach - $13,707,614 (-33.9%)
  4. Torrential - $11,970,445 (-26.3%)
  5. Academy - $11,095,616 (-44.6%)
  6. The Twenty-One Balloons - $4,510,693 (-27.1%)
  7. The Human Revolution - $2,665,123 (-19.0%)
  8. Cello - $2,501,347 (-59.1%)
  9. Illusiono - $1,014,571 (-43.7%)
  10. The Call of the Revenant - $896,199 (-43.8%)

 

Top 10 gross: $119,808,240 (+53.2%)

Should get to $45M-$55M domestic with small OS numbers it should break even.
