The two contenders were Now You See Me: Now You Don&#8217;t, the vestigial trilogy-capper that comes nine years after Now You See Me 2, and The Running Man, which is a Stephen King adaptation, an Edgar Wright joint, and a remake of a 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger movie all in one. All three of those bullet points are noteworthy, but neither are a guarantee of box office success. While neither movie turned out to be a disaster or a blockbuster, Now You See Me 3 ultimately proved the winner of this box office battle.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\"\/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Now You See Me: Now You Don&#8217;t reunites the all-star cast from the original films for one more magic-flavored heist. This threequel&#8217;s opening, $21.3 million, is in-line with the underwhelming start of the second film, which legged out to $65 million domestic, a far cry from the original&#8217;s haul of $117 million. Now You Don&#8217;t will be lucky to hit $60 million, and with a budget of $90 million, it&#8217;ll be up to international audiences to get this one to turn a profit. To that end, the film&#8217;s already made $75 million worldwide, so it&#8217;s well on its way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Running Man only had enough cardio training to earn $17 million this weekend. I suppose that&#8217;s not a bad start for an R-rated action flick, but with a budget of $110 million, as well as the opportunity for leading man Glen Powell to finally break out onto the A-list, I was hoping for more. Despite making epic, crowd-pleasing movies like Scott Pilgrim vs the World and Shaun of the Dead, director Edgar Wright has had a hard time making a genuine box office smash. To date, his most successful film as director is 2017&#8217;s Baby Driver, which grossed $227 million worldwide. Fat chance Running Man gets even remotely close.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In third place, we have the second weekend of <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies\/articles\/predator-badlands-review-bold-emotional-194716264.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Predator: Badlands;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Predator: Badlands<\/a>. After a shockingly strong opening last week, the film took something of a tumble in its sophmore frame, dropping 67% to $13 million. Still, with a ten-day total of $66 million domestic, $136 million worldwide, I&#8217;m confident we&#8217;ll be getting more Predator projects in the very near future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Elsewhere in the top ten, Regretting You continues to hold on, dropping less than 40% to bring in $4 million in its fourth weekend. The drama has brought in $44.9 million domestically ($82 million worldwide) and has already more than tripled its opening weekend of $13.6 million. Meanwhile, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies\/articles\/tv-squad-review-black-phone-235644120.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Black Phone 2;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Black Phone 2<\/a> is a hair shy of $75 million, and <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies\/articles\/tv-squad-review-nuremberg-025901019.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Nuremberg;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Nuremberg <\/a>held on strongly in its second weekend, falling just 33% and bringing its 10-day total to $8.6 million. All told, it was a pretty quiet weekend, with a handful of indie newcomers failing to break out, but at least Keeper, from distributor Neon, managed to claw its way to seventh place with $2.5 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Next week, Wicked: For Good sets its sights on some all-time records. The first Wicked opened to $112 million this time last year. Hopes are high the sequel will match it, but I bet it&#8217;ll dwarf it. My guess? $160 million. Yeah, I&#8217;m taking the high bet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies\/articles\/box-office-report-predator-badlands-220249702.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Related: Last Week's Box Office Report;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Related: Last Week&#8217;s Box Office Report<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week was a curious showdown at the box office.
