Weekend Domestic Chart for April 15th, 2016
No surprise that The Jungle Book came in at #1. It made just over 103 domestically and 136 million internationally. So just under 240 million in just three days (on a 175 million budget). Barbershop: The Next Cut debuted at #2 and made 20 million on a budget of the same amount. No international box office numbers for this one, I'm not sure it will get much of a release around the rest of the globe.
Kevin Costner's thriller Criminal debuted just outside the top five at #6, making just over 5.5 million on a 31.5 million budget. It only made an average of $2,150 per theatre, this one is perhaps currently in the lead for being one of the year's bombs.
The horror flick Green Room debuted down at #31 where it made less than $100,000, but it was playing at only three theatres, where it averaged $29,328 per theatre. That's better than The Jungle Book (which averaged $25,636 per theatre). The Green Room goes wide April 29th.
Second week in a row for a James Franco bomb. The Adderall Diaries debuted down at #65 where it made $5,517 playing at 30 theatres, averaging $184 per screen. That's like 20 to 30 people at each screening?

The movie was also an opportunity for Cagney to show he could play more than a gangster, but considering this was the time of Astaire and Rogers, I didn't think his singing and dancing were worthy of much (if any) merit. Cagney won the best actor Oscar for this role, I'm assuming it was a "go U.S.A." type of thing and that many would debate whether that was the best acting of the year. Although the other nominees didn't look particularly strong that year, from a brief look at the nominees, I'd guess only Gary Cooper (for The Pride of the Yankees) is a performance once could truly argue was better (Ronald Colman, Walter Pidgeon and Monty Woolley were the other three). Luckily I've got some other musicals to watch that should make me happier!
