Nonetheless, we’re speaking a distinction of solely $100k right here, with Regretting You making $8.1 million in comparison with The Black Telephone 2’s $8 million (solely $1 million greater than we predicted earlier this week). With that tight a margin, it’s doable the positions can be reversed when the ultimate numbers are reported.
Curiously, each motion pictures characteristic rising star Mason Thames, who’s had an excellent yr between these two motion pictures and the smash Methods to Prepare Your Dragon remake. Regretting You has had a softer efficiency on the field workplace than the final Colleen Hoover adaptation, It Ends With Us, however it additionally didn’t have the identical form of star energy (or controversy), that means it will little doubt be a worthwhile film for Paramount, with its gross sitting at $27.5 million.

Ouch — this one has to harm for Searchlight, though it is going to little doubt discover a larger viewers as soon as it hits Hulu. To notice, Okay-Pop Demon Hunters might be on the listing someplace round this spot, with Deadline estimating it made about $3.4 million this weekend — however Netflix doesn’t report field workplace numbers, so there’s no surefire method of figuring out.
In the meantime, Tron: Ares continued its weak field workplace run, with $2.8 million and a $67 million home whole. Given the rumored $200 million finances, this one goes to bleed pink ink.
