“Don’t Worry Honey” debuted at the top of the North American box office this weekend, earning just $ 19.2 million from 4,114 theaters. With $ 10.8 million from over 60 international markets, the Olivia Wilde-directed film had a global start of $ 30 million.
The film was the most talked about of the week, thanks to a wave of rumors about its backstage, which has taken on proportions not seen in a long time. This, however, may have helped its release, as critics viewed it as negative, with only 38% approval.
The fact is that Warner Bros. had expected a worse performance, with a $ 17 million debut. In any case, “Don’t Worry, Honey” is a very modest production, despite its stellar cast consisting of Florence Pugh, Harry Styles, Chris Pine and Olivia Wilde herself. Production cost $ 35 million and should be profitable.
“We are very proud of this film and pleased with these results, given our modest production budget,” Warner Bros. said in a press release this Sunday (25/9).
Last week’s leader, “The King Woman” dropped to number 2 with $ 11.1 million, bringing a nationwide 10-day total of $ 35.3 million.
In 3rd place, the re-release of “Avatar” added another $ 10 million in the US and Canada. But its impact was even greater overseas, with $ 20.5 million from 50 countries further raising the record for the highest grossing of all time: $ 2.84 billion worldwide in sales. of tickets.
In 4th place, horror “Barbarian” grossed $ 4.8 million in its third weekend. Praised for its extravagant twists, the low-budget production is already making a profit. It cost $ 10 million and has generated $ 28.4 million so far.
The mystery comedy “See How They Run” and another horror, “Pearl”, compete for 5th place. Both are worth $ 1.9 million and, after two weeks in theaters, have already earned $ 6.1 million and $ 6.65 million respectively.
The three best-placed films in the ranking are also on the program in Brazil. The others don’t even have a release date in Brazilian cinemas.
