Box Office: ‘Bob Marley’ Still Shining on Top, ‘Demon Slayer’ Landing at No. 2
variety.comJ. Kim Murphy Paramount’s “Bob Marley: One Love” will retain its holding as the top film on domestic charts this weekend, besting a trio of new releases in the manga adaptation “Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba — To the Hashira Training,” the faith-based Hilary Swank drama “Ordinary Angels” and Ethan Coen’s lesbian crime caper “Drive-Away Dolls.” “One Love” added $3.7 million to its domestic haul on Friday, marking a modest 51% drop from its gross seven days ago.
After opening on Valentine’s Day, the Bob Marley biopic has now earned a solid $61 millionacross its first 10 days in North American theaters.
To compare against genre contemporaries, it’s pacing a bit ahead of the $50 million that “Rocketman” earned in 2019 across the same period of time, and a chunk behind 2022’s “Elvis,” which nabbed $66 million in 10 days.
Worldwide, “One Love” has now surpassed $100 million. Crunchyroll’s release of the new “Demon Slayer” entry looks to take silver.
