Things were looking only slightly brighter at the box office with the release of Olivia Wilde’s sophomore feature, the thriller “Don’t Worry Darling,” starring Florence Pugh and Harry Styles, especially after it took in 3.1 million in Thursday previews (which also included sold-out Monday IMAX shows). With 9.4 million grossed on Friday in 4,113 theaters (which includes that 3.1 million), the anticipated movie ended up being front-loaded, though, winding up with an estimated 19.2 million for the weekend, just slightly better than the opening of Viola Davis’ “The Woman King” last weekend.
Regardless of any negative reviews and the tabloid gossip surrounding the film, audiences seemed to enjoy the movie, as it received a CinemaScore of “B-” (same as last week’s “Pearl”), and its Audience Score at Rotten Tomatoes was at 80. “Don’t Worry Darling” also grossed 10.8 million overseas this weekend, including a 3.1 million debut in the United Kingdom.
