    The heist movie sequel Den of Thieves 2: Pantera has kicked off Lionsgate’s 2025 with a bang while the Robbie Williams biopic Better Man (featuring the pop star as a CGI monkey) flounders in its wide expansion. Lionsgate, which is both a production company and distributor, has released a string of notable flops into theaters during the second half of 2024, including White Bird, Megalopolis, The Crow, Borderlands, and The Killer’s Game. While movies like November 2024’s The Best Christmas Pageant Ever did make their money back, Lionsgate has not had a substantial blockbuster hit in some time.

    Per Deadline, as of Saturday morning, Den of Thieves 2: Pantera is projected to earn a 3-day domestic opening weekend total of $15 million. This matches the original 2018 movie’s $15.2 million debut and allows the sequel to take No. 1 in an upset that sees neither Mufasa nor Sonic the Hedgehog 3 topping the chart. Those titles have consistently battled for No. 1 after premiering on December 20. In addition to breaking Lionsgate’s streak of disappointments, Pantera marks their first No. 1 debut since The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes opened in November 2023.

    Meanwhile, the wide expansion of Better Man has not been received with open arms by North American moviegoers. Its current projections show it earning a 3-day total of just $1 million, which will most likely prevent it from debuting in the domestic Top 5 and may see it struggle to land in the Top 10 at all.
