But as a potential awards player, there is a room for longevity. Steve McQueen’s Widows seemingly is in the same boat as Instant Family with just a $12.3 million opening and $42 million budget. If word-of-mouth cannot build Instant Family this will go down as the seven th straight film that Mark Wahlberg has headlined that has ended up on the losing side of its budget. Since 1990 there have been a dozen films that have started between $13.7-$15.7 million, and only three of them have reached $50 million: The Jackal (1997), Horrible Bosses 2, and Mel Gibson’s Hacksaw Ridge, which benefited from an awards run. Confident that audiences would be looking for a potential feel-good film for the holidays, the studio moved the film up from February into this weekend and was rewarded with just $12.5 million. Paramount got strong reviews from critics for Mark Wahlberg-starring Instant Family, but the $48 million production from Sean Anders did not have that sweet Daddy’s Home connection with Will Ferrell.

Like the Transformers and Pirates of the Caribbean franchises, American audiences may have grown weary, but as long coffers fill overseas, we will see more of them yet. And less than $200 million domestic will be a major disappointment for WB. Will audiences? Anything less than $234 million domestic (likely) equals declining territory.

The previous low: Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them with $74.4 million. The $62 million opening is the lowest in the entire Harry Potter franchise. (However, it’s international numbers are more than solid with a worldwide tally of $253 million just this weekend.) By the time the final estimates come out it may not even be a Top 25 November opening. It can’t even boast having the best start of the 2018 holiday season so far, falling behind The Grinch ’s $67.5 million last week. King of the Crop: Fantastic Beasts Wins Weekend But Signals Trouble Aheadįantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald topped the box office this weekend easily, but that’s about the only domestic victory the film can claim.
