With Predator: Badlands entering its second weekend, its box office performance has become a key focus among industry observers.

Predator: Badlands\u2019 second weekend box office drops by almost 68%<\/p>\n
Predator: Badlands recorded a steep second weekend decline, falling by almost 68 percent to a $13 million three day total (via Box Office Mojo<\/a>).

Daily figures show $3.5 million on Friday, $5.6 million on Saturday and $3.9 million on Sunday.<\/p>\n Industry data shows the film opened to $40,016,853 at 3,725 theaters. Studio reports list a global total of $136.3 million, including $70 million from international markets. The drop followed a $53.2 million first week. Reports noted that the decline was larger than expected and said observers believed word of mouth could have supported a steadier second weekend.<\/p>\n Rival releases reportedly affected the rankings. Now You See Me: Now You Don\u2019t led with $21.3 million and reached $75.5 million worldwide. The Running Man opened with $17 million, earning $6.5 million on Friday, $6.1 million on Saturday and $4.4 million on Sunday.<\/p>\n Other titles added context to the wider market. Regretting You earned $4 million in its fourth weekend and lifted its total to $44.9 million. Black Phone 2 collected $2.65 million in weekend five for a cumulative $74.6 million. Keeper opened at $2.5 million. Chainsaw Man recorded a $1.6 million frame and moved to $41.2 million overall (via Deadline<\/a>).<\/p>\n Analysts pointed to the mid November corridor as a strong period for franchise titles. They cited the second weekend of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and the opening of The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes as recent examples. <\/p>\n Forecasts indicated that attention would now shift to Universal\u2019s Wicked: For Good. Early projections placed the new release well ahead of last year\u2019s first chapter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With Predator: Badlands entering its second weekend, its box office performance has become a key focus among industry…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":144126,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[93,5033,61,60,270,46188,46189],"class_list":{"0":"post-144125","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-entertainment-news","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-ireland","12":"tag-movies","13":"tag-predator","14":"tag-predator-badlands"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/144125","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=144125"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/144125\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/144126"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=144125"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=144125"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=144125"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
