Box Office: ‘Invisible Man’ Earns $26 Million at Weekend Opening

Variety.com: Elisabeth Moss’ “The Invisible Man” scared up a solid $26 million opening weekend at 3,610 North American locations, estimates showed Saturday.

Paramount’s “Sonic the Hedgehog,” which had led for the past two weekends, will finish second with about $15 million at 4,177 sites for a 17-day total of roughly $127 million. The sophomore frame of Disney-20th Century’s “Call of the Wild” is heading for third with $13 million at 3,865 venues and is nearing $46 million for its first 10 days.

Universal-Blumhouse’s “The Invisible Man” dominated Friday’s moviegoing with about $9.8 million and generated a B+ Cinemascore from opening-day patrons. The thriller is coming in above studio forecasts, which had been north of $20 million this weekend.

The film, made for a modest $7 million, is written and direct by Leigh Whannell, co-creator of the “Saw” franchise. Set in the San Francisco region, the movie is a modern take on Universal’s 1933 Claude Rains film, which was based on the 1897 H.G. Wells novel. Moss stars as a woman hunted by her abusive — and now invisible — boyfriend, played by Oliver Jackson-Cohen. After her boyfriend, an expert in optic tech, dies by suicide, nobody believes Moss’ character when she says she’s still being stalked by him.
