Two new wide-release movies, “Penguins of Madagascar” and “Horrible Bosses 2,” became
the latest studio efforts to underperform.
The No. 1 movie in North America was “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1,” which took in an estimated $56.9 million from Friday to Sunday (25-26 of October)
Domestic ticket sales for “Mockingjay” now total a hefty $225.7 million but are nonetheless running roughly 24 percent behind the last
“Hunger Games” film.
“Penguins of Madagascar,” a 20th Century Fox release of a DreamWorks Animation movie, was second for the weekend, generating estimated ticket sales of $25.8 million, for a total since
opening on Wednesday of $36 million. Analysts had expected a five-
day total closer to $45 million for “Penguins of Madagascar,” which cost
$135 million to make.
The birds faced competition from “Big Hero 6” (Disney), which placed third by taking in about $18.8
million, for a four-week total of $167.2 million. “Interstellar” (Paramount) chugged away in fourth
place, selling an estimated $15.8 million in tickets, for a four-week total of $147.1 million.
“Horrible Bosses 2,” which cost New Line, a division of the Warner Bros.,
about $40 million to make, was a disappointing fifth. This R-rated
sequel, which received poor reviews, took in about $15.7 million,
for a total since opening on Wednesday of $23 million — or
roughly 40 percent less than prerelease surveys had predicted.
One bright spot from art houses: “The Imitation
Game,” an Oscar hopeful from the Weinstein
Company, arrived in four locations and took in a
sturdy $482,071.
