The Angry Birds movie was given a wide range of reviews heading into the movie’s opening, but it proved many wrong with a great first weekend. It was the number one movie this past weekend bringing in $39 in ticket sales. The movie also added over $100 million internationally.
With Sony itching to put out a successful movie, they gave Rovio most of the opportunity to profit from the movie. They backed the movie with $173 million and as such will be the main benefactors of all profits.
Captain America: Civil War brought in just over $30 million, bringing them to a total of just under $350 million through three weeks.
Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising finished in third this weekend with just over $21 million in ticket sales. It did not produce like many thought it would, as it received great reviews and it’s 2014 version did quite well.
