More significantly, and nearly unheard of for a wide-release horror film, it fell only 33 percent its third weekend. John Krasinski&#8217;s $17 million-budgeted film is already at $132 million; suddenly, $200 million seems possible. It&#8217;s grossed more than $20 million more than &#8220;Get Out&#8221; last year at this point in its run.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"pmc-related-link read-more\">\n\t\t\t<strong class=\"pmc-related-type\">Read More:<\/strong><a target=\"_self\" href=\"http:\/\/www.indiewire.com\/2018\/04\/dwayne-hollywoods-biggest-star-rampage-box-office-1201953955\/\" title=\"If Dwayne Johnson Is Hollywood\u2019s Biggest Star, Why Did \u2018Rampage\u2019 Open Soft?\">If Dwayne Johnson Is Hollywood\u2019s Biggest Star, Why Did \u2018Rampage\u2019 Open Soft?<\/a><br \/>\n\t\t<\/aside>\n<p>Jordan Peele&#8217;s phenomenal film opened to about two thirds as much, then held better (down 15 and 26 percent its second and third weekends). &#8220;A Quiet Place&#8221; should best the $176 million domestic gross for &#8220;Get Out.&#8221; With stronger foreign interest, a worldwide total of over $300 million is likely.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1201898062\" style=\"width: 790px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1201898062 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.indiewire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/screen-shot-2017-11-16-at-9-37-53-am.png?w=780\" alt=\"Rampage\" width=\"780\" height=\"458\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiewire.com\/t\/rampage\/\" id=\"auto-tag_rampage\">Rampage<\/a>&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;Rampage&#8221; proved the opening appeal of superstar Dwayne Johnson. Its second-weekend, 41 percent fall is the best for any of his films in the last six years, except for the holiday-boosted &#8220;Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.&#8221; That&#8217;s good news for the big-budget title (just over $100 million), which is doing much better overseas. Led by China, and with Japan, Germany, and France still to open, it could end up somewhere between $450 million-$500 million, about 20 percent of that domestic. Johnson&#8217;s involvement boosted this above other recent high-end action films; even without a spectacular opening, it shows what the human element of a proven star can do to enhance an otherwise by-the-numbers release.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I Feel Pretty&#8221; gets credit for grossing more than predictions, which were closer to $10 million. After &#8220;Blockers,&#8221; this is the second R-rated, female-centered comedy in recent weeks. The more-expensive &#8220;Pretty&#8221; ($32 million) will need a strong hold to get into profit. That&#8217;s possible, based on its appeal to women and as &#8220;Avengers&#8221;counterprogramming; it could end up with a strong multiple and earn more than $50 million, but it will need foreign results. &#8220;Game Night&#8221; opened close to the same gross and is nearing $70 million, four times opening weekend.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1201919062\" style=\"width: 790px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1201919062 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.indiewire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/screen-shot-2018-01-18-at-3-13-05-pm.png?w=780\" alt=\"Super Troopers 2 trailer\" width=\"780\" height=\"421\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;Super Troopers 2&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;Super Troopers 2&#8221; is a sequel to the 2000 cult success from the Broken Lizard comedy troupe. The first film opened wide to $9.8 million adjusted, ultimately reaching $29 million; this bested that number at $14.7 million, thanks to longtime male fans. (Ticket sales were 75 percent ages 25-49, and 64 percent male). On-the-ground, multi-city marketing by Broken Lizard also helped the film double initial expectations. At a $13 million budget, this looks like a winning bet for Fox Searchlight and its second (after &#8220;Isle of Dogs&#8221; also gets there) over-$30 million performer this year. That&#8217;s great timing for a unit primed to survive in the new Disney environment post-merger.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Traffik&#8221; with Omar Epps and Paula Patton as a vacationing couple fighting off bikers made $3.875 million on a $4 million production budget. Still, it was the sole opener to rise Saturday from Friday and Lionsgate can make sure this has a post-theatrical afterlife.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1201944666\" style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1201944666 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.indiewire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/69aaf6a151acf15ae44ba02952826780.jpg?w=650\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;Ready Player One&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Other decent holds were seen by &#8220;Ready Player One,&#8221; &#8220;Blockers,&#8221; and of course &#8220;Black Panther.&#8221; The first two fell about 35 percent, while &#8220;Panther&#8221; in its 10th weekend dropped only 20 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Spielberg&#8217;s pricey video-world film is up to $126 million, with $150 domestic possible \u2014 more than three times its opening.
