The big news, however, is that, despite mixed reviews, Disney’s live-action “Aladdin” took in $86 million over the weekend. Having just come back from Cannes, I missed the film when it screened for Boston press last week. Will I ever watch it? Well, I have a duty to do so, but I dread the day it has to be done. From the very beginning this looked like a Disney-marketed nightmare. The reviews do, supposedly, make the point that Will Smith’s Genie isn’t actually the problem when it comes to the movie’s artistic failures.
“John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum” finished second with $24 million, crossing the $100 million mark domestically. “Avengers: Endgame” continued on with $16 million, just shy of the $800 million domestic mark.
Next week “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” will face-off against the R-rated Elton John biopic “Rocketman.”
Here’s the domestic Top 10 for May 24 to May 27: 1. Aladdin – $112.7M (Debut) 2. John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum – $31M ($108M Overall) 3. Avengers: Endgame – $22.3M ($803M) 4. Pokemon Detective Pikachu – $17M ($120M) 5. Brightburn – $9.5M (Debut) 6. Booksmart – $8.7M (Debut) 7. A Dog’s Journey – $5.5M ($16.4M) 8. The Hustle – $4.8M ($31M) 9. The Intruder – $2.6M ($32.6M) 10. Long Shot – $2.1M ($29M)
