Who has seen these movie seems to be the talk of the town only fro it to be banned right here in Nigeria cinemas was really looking forward to watching it well seems like passion has quickly cooled quickly for "Fifty Shades of Grey," but it's still getting enough of moviegoers' love to easily win in its second time around at the weekend box office.
The S&M-laced romance topped Friday with nearly $8 million, which projects to a $24 million three-day total. That would be a steep 72 percent drop from its record-breaking opening weekend for the R-rated Jamie Dornan-Dakota Johnson love story from Universal Pictures, but not a shock, Romance movies tend to fall hard in their second weeks.
CBS Films' teen comedy "The DUFF" was heading for $12 million and third, running just ahead of Disney's inspirational cross country tale "MacFarland, USA" Both were topping the weekend's other wide opener, the comedy sequel "Hot Tub Time Machine 2," which was on its way to a soft $6 million or less in its debut for Paramount Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures.
Audiences gave very high marks to "MacFarland, USA" and "The DUFF," which received "A" and "A-" CinemaScores respectively, but "Hot Tub" got a crummy "C-."
Holdovers "Kingsman: The Secret Service" and "The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water" were battling for second and will wind up at around $18 million for three days.
The tumble by "Fifty Shades," which rode the buzz over its BDSM-themes to a stunning Valentine's Day weekend debut, was in line with the second-week swoons of "Valentine's Day," "Endless Love" and "The Fault In Our Stars." It has grossed more than $330 million globally in just over a week and its domestic total should top $130 million by Sunday.
That's about the same domestic total that the animated "SpongeBob" will have after three weekends, if it receives the expected boost from the kiddie crowd on Saturday and Sunday following a third-place $4 million Friday.
"Kingsman, "Twentieth Century Fox's Matthew Vaughn-directed spy spoof starring Colin Firth, was second on Friday with $5.3 million. The R-rated adaptation of Mark Millar's comic book will have an impressive $70 million two-week domestic total if it stays on its current pace.
