Tyler Perry’s Boo 2! A Madea Halloween
Tyler Perry’sBoo 2 ! A Madea Halloweenhas won a quiet box office weekend as the end of October approaches . The actor - music director has now star as the popular Madea case in nine films , and while the blue - budget productions have rarely suck honorable reviews , they have systematically made money . snort 2!arrived at a typically slow time for the box billet as its chief competition was Dean Devlin’sGeostorm , which could turn out to be a massive flop .
It appears that Lionsgate time the firing of the subsequence toBoo ! A Madea Halloweenperfectly , as it will walk away from its opening weekend as the decisive superior . Other films of varying tone find themselves right smart behind the sparing Perry asBoo 2!can say it almost made back its budget in just three years .
As report byVarietyon Sunday , Boo 2!raked in about $ 21.7 million domestically at 2,388 locations . That ’s only about 25 percent behind the opening of the firstBoo!Madea film , and already close in on its approximate production and selling budget in the range of $ 20 - 25 million . Despitegetting mostly eviscerated by critic , as Perry ’s film historically do , Boo 2!received an A- CinemaScore and come out on rail for profitableness . The same can not be said for its competition this weekend .
Geostormfinished in second place with about $ 13.3 million , which does n’t even encompass the $ 15 million spend on reshoots . Initially be over $ 100 million to produce , the Gerard Butler - starring thriller suffered through massive changes after chief picture taking and is poised to be one of the year ’s magnanimous bombs in the wake of abrutal critical response . It did , however , clear a report $ 36 million internationally . In third place is holdoverHappy Death Day , which pulled in $ 9.4 million after winning the box office staff in its opening weekend .
Denis Villeneuve’sBlade Runner 2049continued to drop off the box role radiolocation in its third weekend as it finished in fourth with $ 7.4 million , and Sony’sOnly The Braverounded out the top-5 with just $ 6 million despitestrong followup . slaying mysteryThe Snowman , whichdidnotearn vital plaudit , fall below projections with just $ 3.4 million and see like an all - around bankruptcy for Universal . But the lack of commercial success forBlade Runner 2049andOnly The Braveis proving once again that decisive kudos is not necessarily a strong index of commercial success .
Perry , meanwhile , continues to essentially be critic - cogent evidence asBoo 2 ! A Madea Halloweenwill almost for sure twist another profit for Lionsgate and Tyler Perry Studios . He may not produce the most critically lauded stuff , but he has a reliable recess hearing and always keep his budget closely . unluckily for fans ofBlade Runner 2049 , the sequel ’s corner authority disappointment may make studios shy away from handing big budget to moving picture that are n’t truly intend to be blockbusters . But it also means that destine endeavors likeGeostormmay not get made , either .
