'The Bad Guys' has made a break for the top spot at this weekend’s box office, besting 'Fantastic Beasts 3' and 'Sonic the Hedgehog 2.'
Universal’s release of Dreamworks’ kid-friendly heist film The Bad Guys snuck away with a top spot finish at the weekend box office, with an estimated $24 million. Not only did it edge out the two other new wide releases of the week, but it also outperformed holdovers Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is aimed at slightly older viewers as compared to The Bad Guys’ target demographic, and the video game adaptation certainly didn’t let new competition affect its hold on the number two spot. The film made an estimated $15.2 million in its third weekend. This takes its running domestic total to within touching distance of the first film’s pre-pandemic haul of $148 million.
Rounding out the top five was the meta-comedy The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, which stars comeback kid Nicolas Cage as an exaggerated version of himself. The film is estimated to have made $7.1 million in its debut weekend and comes with a reported budget of $30 million.
