With a trio of major titles dominating the domestic box office chart this weekend, there was room for an underdog to deliver much-needed counter-programming. Two sequels, The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Mortal Kombat II, fought a tight race for the number one spot this weekend, courting entirely different demographics. The Devil Wears Prada 2 saw a negligible second-weekend drop after exceeding expectations in its first weekend. The film’s cumulative domestic haul is now on the verge of passing the $150 million mark. Meanwhile, Mortal Kombat II came in slightly short of pre-release projections, grossing around $40 million in its debut frame. Holdover hits such as Project Hail Maryand The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, on the other hand, both dropped out of the top five list.
This left room for another new release, The Sheep Detectives, to sneak into the top five behind the Michael Jackson biopic and fellow new release Billie Eilish: Hit Me Hard & Soft. Michael grossed around $35 million in its third weekend and took its running domestic haul to nearly $240 million. Eilish’s concert film, which she co-directed with James Cameron, took the number five spot with around $8 million after receiving excellent reviews. The Sheep Detectives, on the other hand, opened to critical acclaim as well.

Here’s How Much ‘The Sheep Detectives’ Grossed at the Box Office
The mystery comedy, starring Hugh Jackman alongside several A-listers, grossed around $15 million domestically this weekend. Directed by Kyle Balda, the movie didn’t come cheap. It cost a reported $80 million to produce, which means that it needs to hit the $200 million mark worldwide to break even. By comparison, the most recent Paddington movie grossed nearly $200 million worldwide after opening with $12 million domestically. Amazon, however, hasn’t positioned The Sheep Detectives as a big-screen experience, at least not to the same degree as Project Hail Mary. But positive reviews could draw fence-sitters to theaters. The movie now holds a “Certified Fresh” 93% critics’ score and a 96% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. The aggregator website’s consensus reads, “Drolly funny and sweet as a lamb, The Sheep Detectives is a delightful family entertainment that bundles disarmingly profound themes in a cozy package.” Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
