Disney’s The Jungle Book continued to dominate the box office on Tuesday with a first place take of $8.72 million. The 3D live-action computer animated hybrid directed by Jon Favreau was up a healthy 24 percent over Monday. The Jungle Book continues to outpace its already lofty expectations with a terrific five-day start of $119.00 million. The film is running a very impressive 29 percent ahead of the $92.54 million five-day gross of 2013’s Oz: The Great and Powerful (which increased 12 percent on its first Tuesday to gross $7.11 million). The Jungle Book is expected to easily remain in first place over the upcoming weekend.
Overseas, The Jungle Book took in an estimated $15.1 million on Tuesday. The film has now grossed $219.0 million overseas and $338.0 million globally. Key overseas grosses to date by territory include $59.4 million in China, $23.6 million in India, $16.9 million in the United Kingdom and $15.3 million in Russia.
Barbershop: The Next Cut held steady in second place on Tuesday with $1.54 million. The Ice Cube led comedy sequel from Warner Bros., New Line and MGM was up 13 percent over Monday. Barbershop: The Next Cut continues to perform in line with expectations with a solid five-day start of $23.15 million. Without taking into account ticket price inflation, Barbershop: The Next Cut is running 13 percent behind the $26.57 million five-day gross of 2004’s Barbershop 2: Back in Business (which declined 24 percent on its first Tuesday to gross $1.01 million).
Universal’s The Boss grossed $1.05 million to remain in third place. The Melissa McCarthy led R-rated comedy was up a strong 45 percent over Monday, but still down a sharp 55 percent from last Tuesday. The Boss has grossed a solid $41.92 million through twelve days, but on the other hand isn’t holding up as well as McCarthy’s films typically do. The film is currently running 31 percent behind the $60.40 million twelve-day gross of last year’ Spy.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice followed in fourth with $0.800 million. Warner’s blockbuster 3D superhero film starring Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill increased 23 percent over Monday and decreased a very sharp 57 percent from last Tuesday. Batman v Superman has grossed $312.78 million in 26 days, but continues to display poor holding power.
Fellow blockbuster Zootopia rounded out the day’s unchanged top five with $0.761 million. The 3D computer animated film from Disney was up 38 percent over Monday and down a slim 28 percent from last Tuesday. Zootopia has grossed an exceptional $308.70 million in 47 days and currently trails Batman v Superman by just $4.08 million.
