what did you want before? Miami. I just wanted to escape my life. Do you like bartending? It’s not really what I do. What is it that you really don’t? Then you came along and gave me this unexpected, magical moment that made me remember who I really was. Come with me to London. Let’s go. Why are you in London? I’m gonna put on *** show at this famous theater. People are not disconnected. We’re gonna wake them up with *** wave of passion. They’ve never felt before. Hell yeah. Without further I do. I give you the visionary artist logic, mind. So the real question is why no one believed in me. Like your mom has. So what’s that show about? It’s the same old will she marry for love or money? What does she love and money? The real question is why does she feel like she has to choose? It sounds to me, she just needs to let go and some good maybe that as well. You’re not shutting me down. Not this time. You’re so good at this. I’m not gonna just let us give up on it. I want every woman that walks into this theater to feel that *** woman can have whatever she wants whenever she wants. Wait, I know you you were *** cop, right? Is your arrest her? What’s your name, kim? Let you off with *** warning, right?
‘Magic Mike’s Last Dance’ wins Super Bowl weekend box office
Updated: 3:06 PM CST Feb 12, 2023
The third installment in the “Magic Mike” series danced its way to the top of the box office charts this weekend with a James Cameron double header, “Avatar: The Way of Water” and “Titanic” (yes that “Titanic”), looming close behind. “Magic Mike’s Last Dance ” earned $8.2 million in its first weekend in North American theaters, according to studio estimates on Sunday. Cameron’s “Avatar” sequel brought in an additional $6.9 million while the 25th anniversary rerelease of “Titanic” took in $6.4 million from Friday to Sunday.North American moviegoing tends to come to a halt on Super Bowl Sunday and studios react strategically, often releasing films that are more “female-targeted.” Star Channing Tatum has also had several films perform well in the Super Bowl/Valentine’s Day corridor, including “The Vow,” “Dear John” and “Dog.””Magic Mike’s Last Dance,” which brought Steven Soderbergh back to the director’s chair, was given a modest theatrical release in only 1,500 theaters. The film starring Tatum as the lovable male stripper and introducing a wealthy benefactor played by Salma Hayek, was made to go straight to HBO Max. But like the ” House Party ” reboot from several weeks ago, Warner Bros. pivoted and decided to go theatrical first with both in a company effort to refocus on the theatrical experience and give fresh fare to exhibitors. The “Magic Mike” franchise has been a profitable one. In 2012, the first film opened to some $39.1 million from just under 4,000 theaters, on its way to earning $167.3 million globally (against a $7 million production budget). The second, “XXL,” was made for slightly more ($14 million) and took in slightly less ($122.5 million) in 2015. The success of the films also spawned a Las Vegas stage show that has since expanded to Miami and London – in the lead up to the release of “Last Dance,” ticket sales for “Magic Mike Live” spiked too. “Avatar: The Way of Water” in its ninth weekend added $25.8 million globally, bringing its total earnings to $2.2 billion, holding its spot as the 4th biggest movie release ever but closing in on “Titanic.” “Titanic” was rereleased in 2,464 domestic locations this weekend, with Paramount handling the North American release and The Walt Disney Co. on the international rollout in 51 territories. All told the film earned $22.3 million globally, with $2 million of that from IMAX screens. “Titanic” has now earned an estimated $2.2 billion globally, maintaining its title as the third biggest movie of all time. In fourth place was the Super Bowl-themed “80 for Brady,” in its second weekend, with $6 million. The Paramount release has made just under $25 million so far.
