The Greatest Showman has shown surprising resilience, given how disappointing its opening weekend was. It's now at $113 million domestic and $118 million of foreign gross. This past weekend, it again had the lowest drop in box office of the Top 10. It actually made more this past weekend than it did during its first weekend. This past weekend was the movie's 5th weekend in release, and it had the 73rd best 5th weekend of any movie in the past 30 years (not taking inflation into account).
The soundtrack album was #1 for two weeks both in the US and in the UK.
Regardless of whether you think the movie deserves to be a hit, it's good news for us. It shows that there is a sizable audience for a movie musical and opens the door for more musicals to be made.
The recent Murder on the Orient Express also broke the $100 million mark domestically, with another $244 million foreign gross. A feather in the cap for Kenneth Branagh, a nice result for Leslie Odom, Jr, and good news for those of us who want similar movies to be made. |
