WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Bohemian Rhpasody is the champion, my friends -- to the tune of 50MM, well above the so-called gurus' 30-40MM projections. Its worldwide total of 141MM probably puts it in the black immediately. The Nutcracker and the Four Realms places with 20MM, which is an inauspicious start for the holiday movie season and an almost certain flop for the House of Mouse, given a reported 132MM production budget. Nobody's Fool shows with 14MM against a 19MM budget, which isn't terrible, but looking like the low end of Tyler Perry earners. A Star is Born slides to fourth with 11.1MM, but that slide is a still-leggy 21 percent; Cooper and Gaga may make it to 200MM domestic yet. As (sort of) expected, Halloween tumbles 65 percent from the top slot to round out the Top Five with 11MM and 150MM total domestic against a mere 10MM budget.
