With the biographical movie “One Love” that is going to maintain its number one position for another week. The film, which tells the story of the life and legacy of the famous reggae star, has an interesting cast such as Kingsley Ben-Adir, Lashana Lynch, Tosin Cole, and James Norton in the main roles. Valentine’s Day and the highest-grossing on this important day, the movie “One Love” continues to captivate audiences around the world.
According to a promo cited by Variety, “One Love” is expected to earn between $12 million and $14 million in its second week of release. That will strengthen its position at the front of the movie theater’s revenue table. Meanwhile New releases such as “Drive-Away Dolls” and “Ordinary Angels” were predicted to earn a paltry 1 million in revenue alone. A quick look at the weekend earnings table also tells of a lack of continued interest in ticket purchasing throughout February.
