The budget was a relatively economical $35 million, but the film will struggle to become profitable without a much warmer reception in foreign territories. “Hot Pursuit” attracted an audience that was 62% female and 82% over 25 years old.īeyond the modest debut number, a C+ CinemaScore means word of mouth will be of the cautionary variety. The film about an anal retentive cop (Witherspoon) trying to protect a drug boss’s widow (Vergara) was also backed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Witherspoon’s Pacific Standard production company. “We were lighter in the East in review-driven markets.” “Where we did business, we way over-indexed in the South and in the small towns,” said Goldstein. He argued the negative critical reaction took a toll. “Given our expectations it was a little lighter than we had hoped for,” said Jeff Goldstein, Warner Bros. It’s also on the low end of Witherspoon’s recent bows for more commercial fare such as “Water for Elephants” ($16.8 million debut) and “This Means War” ($17.4 million debut). The Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara retread of “The Heat” was crippled by withering reviews, with its debut falling short of projections that pegged an opening of $18 million or higher. With Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America and the rest of the super team dominating ticket sales, Warner Bros.’ “Hot Pursuit” landed with a thud, picking up a frosty $13.3 million opening from 3,003 locations. Given that major markets such as China and Japan are still left to open and domestic audiences continue to embrace the film, “Avengers: Age of Ultron” should have no trouble becoming the second 2015 release to clear $1 billion globally, behind “Furious 7.” Internationally, “Avengers: Age of Ultron” picked up $68 million, pushing the film to $875.3 million globally.
