Disney’s The Jungle Book took in $2.40 million on Monday to lead the daily box office for an 18th consecutive day. The blockbuster 3D live-action computer animated hybrid was down 83 percent from Sunday and down 42 percent from last Monday. The Jungle Book has grossed $255.77 million in 18 days domestically. With a current overseas take of $452.8 million, The Jungle Book passed the $700M global mark on Monday and has grossed a massive $708.6M to date globally. Domestically, The Jungle Book is running a very impressive 43 percent ahead of the $179.35 million 18-day take of 2013’s Oz: The Great and Powerful and just 5 percent behind the $268.19 million 18-day gross of 2010’s Alice in Wonderland.
It was a close three-way race for second place on Monday, with Warner’s Keanu having the slight edge with $0.691 million. The R-rated comedy starring Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key declined 70 percent from Sunday’s performance. Despite very good critical reviews, Keanu has grossed a modest $10.14 million in its first four days of release. That places the film 53 percent behind the recent $21.61 million four-day start of fellow Warner Bros. comedy Barbershop: The Next Cut.
Open Road’s Mother’s Day placed in third with $0.650 million. The ensemble comedy featuring Jennifer Aniston and Julia Roberts was down 71 percent from Sunday. Mother’s Day is performing below its already modest expectations with a four-day start of $9.02 million. The film is currently running 36 percent behind the $14.01 million four-day take of 2011’s New Year’s Eve (which like Mother’s Day, was also directed by Garry Marshall).
Universal’s The Huntsman: Winter’s War followed closely behind in fourth with $0.643 million. The follow-up to 2012’s Snow White and the Huntsman fell 76 percent from Sunday and a sizable 49 percent from last Monday. The Huntsman: Winter’s War continues to run below its already scaled back expectations with an eleven-day gross of just $34.86 million. The film is running a disappointing 66 percent behind the $101.22 million eleven-day take of Snow White and the Huntsman.
