Disney’s new live-action “Dumbo” movie won the box office this weekend with $45 million . . . but that was at the LOW-END of Disney’s projections, especially since it reportedly cost $170 million to make.
It made another $71 million overseas, but that’s still just $116 million.
On the flip-side, the controversial anti-abortion movie “Unplanned”, did about double its projections, debuting in fifth with an estimated $6.1 million.
And Matthew McConaughey’s new movie “The Beach Bum” only made $1.8 million in its first weekend. It’s an indie comedy, and was only expected to make about that much . . . but it’s worth noting that it’s Matthew’s WORST wide-release opening of his career.
