The R-rated comedy that had the combined star power of Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron, could barely stay afloat at the Memorial Day box office after being savaged by reviewers.
Memorial Day revenue at the domestic box office falls to its lowest level in nearly two decades; overseas, 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales' makes up ground with a $208.4 million launch.
Johnny Depp returns as Captain Jack Sparrow in 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.' while the R-rated 'Baywatch' stars Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron.
Johnny Depp reprises his role as the zany Captain Jack Sparrow in the latest 'Pirates,' while Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron share lifeguard duties in the R-rated, raunchy 'Baywatch.'
Ridley Scott's 'Alien: Covenant' opened well behind expectations this weekend after last week's dismal start for 'King Arthur: The Legend of the Sword.'
Two smaller films targeting younger moviegoers also open this weeekend: 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul' and 'Everything, Everything,' which took in $525,000 in previews.
'King Arthur' is a flop of epic proportions after costing $175 million to make; 'Snatched' cost far less ($42 million) but will open well behind Amy Schumer's 'Trainwreck.' 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2' will easily trounce both new offerings.
Warner Bros. spent at least $175 million to make the epic as Mother's Day weekend also offers 'Snatched,' starring Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn, who has been absent from the big screen for 15 years.
