Magic Mike's Last Dance: How much box office money did the Channing Tatum movie make over the February 13 weekend?

Magic Mike's Last Dance has set the box office ablaze. The comedy-drama, released on February 10, 2023, earned a total of $18.6 million on its opening weekend. This is a stellar performance since critics gave the film mixed reviews at best.

Ever since the trailer was dropped, fans have been in awe of the sizzling chemistry between the film's leads Channing Tatum and Salma Hayek Pinault, well-choreographed dance sequences, and picturesque production locations.

Moreover, Tatum’s return as the titular character to the fan-favorite Magic Mike franchise amplified the excitement. So, no wonder the wonderful box office numbers reflect the hot anticipation that was around Magic Mike's Last Dance.

Reports state that over the weekend, it was at the numero uno spot on the domestic circuit. James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water and the re-released version of the Titanic captured the next two spots.

Magic Mike's Last Dance performed well despite not getting a wide release

Last Dance was thought to be a direct-to-OTT release, but Warner Bros. decided to give it a theatrical outing, resulting in it receiving a limited release across 1,500 theaters in North America.

Domestically, the new flick earned $8.2 million over the just-gone weekend, according to the studio. Meanwhile, it hit 10 markets internationally, from which it pocketed a good $10.4 million, taking the total to $18.6 million.

The Steven Soderbergh directorial, however, isn’t the highest opener among the three franchise movies. The first movie, Magic Mike, also helmed by Soderbergh, earned $39.1 million on the opening weekend upon its premiere in 2012. Meanwhile, the second installment, Magic Mike XXL (2015) managed a three-day pull of $12.8 million.

Nonetheless, Last Dance is being lapped up by viewers and may see a spike in its collections in Valentine’s Day week.
