The movie “Sonic” retains its dominance at the box office, continuing to rake in impressive numbers. The video game adaptation has garnered positive reviews from both critics and audiences, contributing to its success. On the other hand, the film “Emma,” based on Jane Austen’s classic novel, makes waves with its debut in the box office. The period drama is receiving favorable feedback from viewers, indicating a promising start for the film. While Sonic maintains its position at the top, Emma’s strong opening suggests it could be a contender for box office success in the coming weeks..
According to Variety, Sonic continues its dominance at the box office this past weekend, beating out Call of the Wild (which just had its first opening weekend), 20th Century Studios’ (which now bears the Disney emblem) new adaptation of the Jack London classic tale.
Sonic ended the weekend with 26.3 million USD, while Call of the Wild raked in 25 million USD. So what can we deduce from this? Apparently animated animals are all the rage, and no matter how many movies we get about dogs, people are always willing to spend money to see another one, even if the dog is CGI.
Over at the indie scene, Variety reports that Emma made 230 thousand USD in its debut opening across 5 cinemas in New York and Los Angeles, coming in at number 1 in each location. That means a 46 thousand per-screen average, which is the highest average of any speciality opening this year so far. This definitely gives the film a good footing before it ventures into 100 theatres in 25 markets in the coming week.
This proves that despite the many adaptations Emma has received over the years, audiences are still charmed by Austen’s story and will continue to consume adaptations of her work. Emma also has a score of 87% on Rotten Tomatoes, and is certified fresh by the critics.
