Meanwhile, Sony/3000 Pictures/Hello Sunshine’s feature take of the Delia Owens novel Where the Crawdads Sing is coming in ahead of its $9M-$10M projections with $15.5M-$16M in 3rd, a small win here for a $24 production before P&A. Some rival estimates believe the pic might be able to hit $17M. The 74% skewing female movie is winning over its core audience in its big screen treatment with 4 1/2 stars, 87% positive, 70% recommend on PostTrak and an A- CinemaScore. Those fans who showed up clearly didn’t read reviews as critics weren’t won over by the weep at 35% Rotten.
