“Aaron Sorkin and Danny Boyle’s Steve Jobs movie had another disastrous showing at the box office over the weekend,” Luke Dormehl reports for Cult of Mac.
“With earnings declining more than 69 percent from the previous weekend to just $823,000, the movie was dumped from 2,072 screens — more than any other film,” Dormehl reports. “By comparison, the new Bond movie Spectre took $73 million in its opening weekend.”
“The box office failure of Steve Jobs (no doubt much to the delight of Tim Cook, Jony Ive, Laurene Powell Jobs and others who criticized it) has been among the most disappointing of the year,” Dormehl reports. “To give you a sense of how big we’re talking, the original box office projections for the movie’s debut weekend were between $15 and $19 million. As it currently stands, the film has so far earned just $16,684,073 in its entire theatrical run… Steve Jobs is now playing in just 421 theaters.”
