Sony and Entertainment One’s The Woman King had a terrific hold in weekend two. It grossed another $11.142 million (-42%) to bring its ten-day total to $36.28 million. That’s on par with Where the Crawdads Sing (-40% from a $17 million debut against the $44 million opening of Nope), so we could absolutely see comparable legs. While Woman King won’t have summer weekdays goosing the grosses, we could still be looking at an over/under $80 million domestic cume for the $50 million Viola Davis/Lashana Lynch/John Boyega action drama. Once again, online-centric controversies (distinguishing between good-faith conversations about the film’s historical accuracy and disingenuous folks intended to troll the discourse) don’t affect general audience behavior.
