"Dolittle" Does Little Box Office

So with a long holiday weekend and Oscar nominations to power some of the movies on the Big List (and in WIll Smith's case, a sequel that works) business is perky. But not, sadly, Robert Downey's live-action humans/animated animals entrant ...

MLK Weekend Grosses

1 Bad Boys For Life -- 3,775 theaters -- $73.4M -- $73.4M (1st weekend)

2) Dolittle -- 4,155 -- $29.5M -- $29.5M (1st weekend)

3) 1917 -- 3,612 (+178) -- $26.8M -- $81.4M

4) Jumanji: Next Level -- 3,323 (-581) -- $12.8M -- $273.7M

5) Star Wars: Rise Of Skywalker -- 3,058 (-1,221) -- $10.5M -- $494.1M

6) Little Women -- 2,503 (-713) -- $8.2M -- $86.7M

7) Just Mercy -- 2,457 (+82) -- $7.5M -- $21.1M

8) Knives Out -- 1,667 (-393) -- $5.3M -- $147M

9) Frozen 2 -- 2,080 (-575) -- $5.3M -- $466.5M

10) Like A Boss -- 3,081 (+3) -- $4.8M -- $17.9M

Although there is only one full-on animated feature in the domestic Top Ten, Dolittle, Jumanji and Star Wars have lots of animated effects (much of it in the form of big animals). Jumanji and Star Wars are doing well around the globe, but newcomer Dolittle is, apparently, struggling:

WorldWide Box Office

Dolittle -- $56.8M

Frozen 2 -- $1.4B

Jumanji -- $709M

Star Wars -- $1.027B

Spies in Disguise -- $132.6M

Abominable -- $176.9m

For those keep track at home, Will Smith's animated feature Spies in Disguise now resides at #12 on the domestic box office list. (This is a Blue Sky/Disney project.) Meantime, Bad Boys For Life, Will's live-action outing (via Sony) sits at #1.
