Magic Mike still has some moves left as the film took the top spot at the weekend box office. Magic Mike’s Last Dance, the third film in the series, earned an estimated $8.2 million domestically and $10.4 million at the international box office for a worldwide total of $18.6 million.
It’s a rough opening compared to the original which earned $39.1 million in 2012 (going on to earn $167.3 million worldwide) and below the sequel’s $12.9 million opening in 2015 (it went on to earn $117.8 million worldwide). Unless there’s a big boost, the film may struggle to make it to $100 million based on the performance of previous films.
Avatar: The Way of Water came in second place with an estimated $6.9 million. Domestically, the film has grossed $646.9 million. Over the week, it grossed about $28 million internationally to lift that to $1.566. The film has now grossed $2.213 billion. It is still #10 for domestic gross with about $6.1 million to go to move up a spot. Worldwide, the film is in fourth place, about $3.9 million behind the third place Titanic. With a release of that film, and if it counts towards the previous total, it’s hard to say when it’ll pass it, but it likely will.
Speaking of Titanic… the 25th anniversary release came in third with an estimated $6.4 million. The film also grossed $15.9 million internationally to deliver a $22.3 million gross so far.
80 for Brady slipped to fourth from second with an estimated $6 million to bring its domestic total to just under $25 million. There’s still no international gross.
Knock at the Cabin dipped a little over 61% from the previous weekend going from first to fifth. The film added about $5.5 million to its domestic total to bring that to $23.4 million. Over the week, the film added about $6.3 million to its total to bring that to $13.3 million. Worldwide, the film has grossed $36.8 million after two weeks.
