"Birds of Prey," the DC Comics' Harley Quinn spinoff, made a tepid debut in theaters over the weekend, opening in No. 1 but below expectations with $33.3 million domestically, according to studio estimates Sunday.
Warner Bros. said the coronavirus impacted sales in Asia, though in South Korea, where "Birds of Prey" made $1.9 million, it came in second to a local release. "Birds of Prey" doesn't have a China release scheduled, and "Suicide Squad" never opened there. Cinemas in the country, the world's second largest movie market, have shut down amid the coronavirus outbreak.
After three weeks atop the box office, Sony Picture's "Bad Boys for Life" dropped to second with $12 million in its fourth weekend. The action comedy, which reunites Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, has grossed $336 million worldwide.
Holdovers "Doolittle" ($6.7 million in its fourth weekend) and "Jumaji: The Next Level" ($5.5 million) rounded out the top five.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore.
1. "Birds of Prey," $33.3 million ($48 million international).
2. "Bad Boys for Life," $12 million.
3. "1917," $9 million.
4. " Doolittle," $6.7 million.
5. "Jumanji: The Next Level," $5.5 million.
6. "The Gentlemen," $4.2 million.
7. "Gretel & Hansel," $3.5 million.
8. "Knives Out," $2.4 million.
