‘Daddy’s Home 2’ and ‘Orient Express’ Turn Out Older Crowds
A pair of new wide-release movies, “Daddy’s Home 2”
and “Murder on the Orient Express,” both of which rely on starry ensembles, arrived to stronger-than-expected ticket sales in North American theaters over the weekend.
“Daddy’s Home 2,” starring Mark Wahlberg, Mel Gibson, Will Ferrell and John Lithgow, received poor reviews
but clicked with audiences, who gave it an A-minus grade in CinemaScore exit polls.
“Murder on the Orient Express,” starring and directed by Kenneth Branagh, who was joined on screen by Judi Dench, Johnny Depp, Penélope Cruz, Daisy Ridley
and others, received mixed reviews and a B grade in CinemaScore exit polls.
Second place went to “Daddy’s Home 2,” which took in about $30 million, or roughly 20 percent more than analysts had expected before release.
