Pronounced a flop in the US, on account of the fact that it snared ‘just’ $32.8m over its opening weekend, Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner 2049 couldn’t be saved by positive reviews and will now struggle to earn back its reported $150m budget. The inquest has already begun, with the early conclusion being that the film failed to broaden its appeal beyond males in the 25+ age group. Here in the UK, the Blade Runner sequel fared rather better. Sure, no records were broken, but its opening weekend was broadly in line with that of other recent science fiction blockbusters. In fourth place, The Mountain Between Us was the second-highest charting new release, while the flop of the week was misery memoir adaptation The Glass Castle, whose nationwide takings fell just short of £50,000.
