Still, we’re talking about a $41 million movie that has earned $56 million worldwide thus far. Even legs like Straight Outta Compton ($161 million from a $60 million debut) gets Rocketman to $67 million domestic. Legs like A Star is Born (4.9x a $44 million debut) or Walk the Line ($117 million from a $23 million debut in 2005) gets this one past $125 million. That’s a decent 2.53x multiplier from a $7.2 million opening day. That’s especially true after Happy Death Day 2U barely earned in total ($28 million) what the first Happy Death Day earned in its opening weekend ($26 million).
