End of Oak Street Debuts to $21 Million Domestically, Spider-Man Remains No. 1
Warner Bros.' sci-fi thriller The End of Oak Street opened this weekend with $21 million domestically and $26 million internationally from 3,446 theaters. The film stars Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor as a suburban family transported to prehistoric times. Despite receiving positive critical reviews at 84% on Rotten Tomatoes, the movie earned a B CinemaScore from audiences, indicating mixed word-of-mouth reception. With an $80 million production budget, the opening falls below initial projections and is considered a soft start for the studio.
