The Martian opens to $100 million worldwide

October 5, 2015 by admin

He may be lost on a planet on his own, but thousands went in their droves to see Matt Damon in Ridley Scott’s The Martian.

The film opened to $55 million domestically, averaging around $14k per screen. While it is a fantastic opening, it’s sadly just short of the record made by Gravity in this spot a couple of years ago by around $750k. The Martian also opened in 49 territories and added $45.2 million to its total, pushing the movie to over $100 million on its opening weekend.

The Martian didn’t face much in the way of competition, however last week’s number one Hotel Transylvania 2, pulled in an impressive $33 million. It also beat out the wide release of Sicario, which made $13 million domestically.
