The movie follows Leto as a man who becomes a living vampire after curing himself of a rare disease. While it can be seen as a financial success, the reviews were not so kind, asMorbiuslanded with a thud at Rotten Tomatoes with its 17% critical score. Conversely, the film has a 59% audience score, so there are many fans still enjoying the movie for what it’s worth. In any case, it remains to be seen how these negative reviews will affectMorbiusmoving forward, but for now, the film stands tall as king of the box office.
Last week’s No. 1 movie, the Nee Brothers’The Lost City, has fallen by 51% with a $14.8 million haul. This puts the Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum vehicle at $54.5 million domestically. The smash hitThe Batmanfollowed in the No. 3 spot with another $10.8 million pulled in, though that pushes that film up to $349 million domestically and past $700 million worldwide. That of course follows the movie setting some records with its own impressive premiere in March.
