Superman easily reigns as the box office champion for the second weekend in a row, and James Gunn’s opus made an estimated $57.3 million domestically in its sophomore stanza. Unfortunately for newcomers I Know What You Did Last Summer and Smurfs,
“Smurfs,” which billionaire pop star Rihanna stars in, produced and wrote music for, is shaping up to be both a critical and box office flop despite marketing that placed the billionaire’s name front and center. “Smurfs,” which opened in theaters Friday, failed to impress critics, earning just a 20% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Elsewhere, new offerings 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' and 'Smurfs' are no match for the Man of Steel and are both eyeing a domestic opening in the $12 million range.
Superman' ruling supreme with $55M second weekend. 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' Ho-Hum $13M, 'Smurfs' $12M Opening.
