The film features an outstanding voice cast - including Jeremy Renner, James Franco, Anjelica Huston, Alec Baldwin, Laurie Holden, John Cleese, Omar Sy, Michael Madsen, and Heidi Klum, but clearly it wasn't able to spur any interest anywhere. Meanwhile, Aaron Woodley's animated Arctic Dogs - which notably wasn't screened for critics prior to release - is also clearly a title that will not be showing up again in my weekly box office report. this weekend with placement in about 1,300 theaters, and apparently the mixed response from critics didn't result in swaths of people running out to buy tickets.

Following years of development, Edward Norton's Motherless Brooklyn got a modest launch from Warner Bros. The only other two new releases from this past Friday to Sunday occupy the last two spots on the box office chart, and obviously aren't big wins. What is clear is that people are very much enjoying the film, as it, like Terminator 2: Judgement Day, has earned an "A+" on CinemaScore. Considering the importance of the story being told, following Harriet Tubman (Cythia Erivo) as she works to free slaves via the Underground Railroad, it's great to see the film getting a lot of attention, and hopefully there are cinemas across the country that are full of young people learning about a true life hero. Terminator: Dark Fate was the only new big blockbuster arriving in theaters this weekend, but a smaller release that can definitely celebrate the final numbers is Kasi Lemmons' Harriet - which pulled in $12 million, and averaged nearly $6,000 per theater. Following the same trajectory as its predecessor, that means that its final total should be around $400 million globally - which you'll remember wasn't enough money to motivate the studio to green light a sequel.

Looking at things from a more sunny perspective, Terminator: Dark Fate did manage to make more money in its first three days than Terminator: Genisys, but it's not all that impressive considering that the margin is less than $2 million, and the 2019 release cost about $30 million more to make (the price tag on the new movie is a whopping $185 million).
