Lionsgate has the only opening this weekend with AGC Studios’ scientific YA PG-13 bacchanalia feature Voyagers which had no driving force with a C CinemaScore, 25% Rotten Tomatoes score, and a faint Comscore / Screen Engine PostTrak output of 53% in the top two boxes, and a very low recommendation of 27%. The photo skewed 55% men, 70% older than 25, with 55% between 18-34 years. The film earned $ 515,000 on Friday for an expected $ 1.3 million 3-day. Lionsgate has a distribution fee here and AGC Studios covered most of the $ 24 million net production cost in overseas sales. Lionsgate, which covers P&A and spends little on it, has low overhead here, so their losses will not be to the ridiculous extent of Chaos Step (which earned $ 12.8 million domestically at a production cost of $ 100 million). P&A on Voyagers is spread between the theatrical decoration and PVOD, ranging from less than $ 10 million for the first window and the low teens hitting by the time the photo directed by Neil Burger hits the second window. Diversity demos were 56% Caucasians, 18% Spanish, 17% Black and 9% Asian / other. More hope is expected from Lionsgate with the upcoming Chris Rock Saw title Spiral on May 14 and the sequel to Ryan Reynolds-Samuel L. Jackson The Hitman’s wife’s bodyguard on June 16th.
