Bob Marley: One Love’ heading to $46M at the Box Office but has fans and critics divided

The Paramount biopic, starring Kingsley Ben-Adir as the late reggae icon, is posting a six-day domestic opening of $46.2 million, including $28.3 million for the three-day weekend, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

That high number rivals the start of other musical biopics like Rocketman, based on the life and career of Elton John.

One Love opened on Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14) and has received an impressive A rating on CinemaScore. The Reinaldo Marcus Green-directed film, which benefits from having an ethnically diverse audience, earned a record $14 million from 3,536 theaters, the top midweek opener ever for Valentine’s Day, according to the studio. The movie also earned another $3.9 million on Thursday for a two-day domestic total of $17.9 million, according to THR.

Sony’s Madame Web, starring Dakota Johnson, is projecting a six-day opening of $24 million, marking one of the lowest openings for a movie mentioning a Marvel character, THR reports. The film is not, however, considered part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
