In second is Fox’s Red Sparrow, an adaptation of the first novel in Jason Matthews’ trilogy starring Jennifer Lawrence and directed by Francis Lawrence. Debuting in 3,056 locations, the film brought in an estimated $17 million, which is in line with the studio’s expectations while a bit behind Mojo’s pre-weekend forecast. The film received a “B” CinemaScore and played to an opening weekend audience that was 53% female vs. 47% male and of 79% of its overall audience was over the age of 25.
Red Sparrow also brought in an estimated $26.5 million internationally this weekend. Leading the way was Taiwan with $2.4 million followed by Spain ($2m), Italy ($1.5m) and Hong Kong ($762K). Upcoming markets include Japan (Mar 30), France (Apr 4) and Russia (May 31).
Looking ahead, it’s tough to determine just how well this film will perform based on pre-weekend comparisons, which had us looking at Atomic Blonde and Ghost in the Shell, both of which debuted with over $18 million and, like Sparrow, received a “B” CinemaScore. Neither of those films, however, played to a majority female audience with Atomic’s 51% male audience being the closest while Ghost in the Shell joined Sparrow in playing to an older audience at 76% over the age of 25. Averaging the two films out would point toward a $45 million domestic run for Sparrow, which seems like a reasonable high-end at this point. Source
Happy Red Sparrow day! The film is officially in theatres as of today. An R-rated film directed by Francis Lawrence, also known as the director for the last three Hunger Games films, stars Jennifer Lawrence as a Russian spy recruited by the American government to work for them. In an action-packed film, the film has received mixed reviews from Rotten Tomatoes with 51% approval with the consensus set as “Red Sparrow’s tense, character-driven story — elevated by outstanding work from Jennifer Lawrence — help this topical spy thriller overcome its somewhat uneven narrative.”[1] It also stars Joel Edgerton, Charlotte Rampling, Mary-Louise Parker, Jeremy Irons, and Matthias Schoenaerts.
On Thursday, it earned 1.2$ million. BoxOfficeMojo predicts it will earn 19.3$ million in its release weekend:
Fox’s Red Sparrow brought in $1.2 million from Thursday night previews last night. While preview screenings don’t necessarily foreshadow a film’s overall weekend performance, this could be an early indication of an opening that falls below expectation as it is shy of both the $1.8 million Ghost in the Shell brought in before opening with $18.7 million and the $1.52 million for Atomic Blonde ahead of its $18.3 million debut. […] Looking at a second place finish is Fox’s Red Sparrow, which re-teams The Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence and director Francis Lawrence in an R-rated adaptation of the first book in Jason Matthews’ trilogy of novels. Debuting in 3,056 theaters, Fox is anticipating a performance in the mid-to-high teens, and our analysis suggests an opening more on the higher end, if not possibly topping $20 million. Source
