Charlie’s Angels Crashes At The Box Office For Second Week

Disney’s massively-anticipated Frozen II dominated the box office this weekend after opening to a huge $127 million, which is a lot more money than the rest of the top ten managed to earn combined. No other movie stood a chance, with the overwhelming majority of audiences flocking to see the animated sequel, which spelled bad news for the rest of the titles in its wake, with Charlie’s Angels taking a particularly big hit.

Elizabeth Banks’ reboot has become something of a controversy magnet lately, with the outspoken actress/writer/producer/director claiming that everyone who saw Charlie’s Angels loved it, while also blaming the movie’s failure on everything from poor marketing to men’s apparent refusal to watch female-driven action franchises. Of course, she also took some shots at the comic book genre for good measure.

 

The signs weren’t looking good after Charlie’s Angels suffered a Friday-to-Friday second weekend drop of 69%, and this weekend’s box office numbers make for even more grim reading. The latest iteration of the brand is estimated to have earned just $3.175 million over the last three days, meaning that it’s failed to even crack $14 million domestically after ten days in release.
