“Couples Retreat” is Universal’s fourth top debut this year. The studio ranks last among the six major ones in U.S. ticket sales this year with $841.8 million as of Oct. 8, according to Box Office Mojo, a California-based researcher. Last week, Universal replaced its top two executives, naming Adam Fogelson chairman and Donna Langley was named co-chairman.
“It was a very strong opening for that type of picture,” said Brandon Gray, editor at Box Office Mojo. “Even though it didn’t do as well as ‘The Breakup’ (a previous Vaughn film), it still finished within that range. It would be hard to expect from it much more.”
The comedy tells the story of four couples on an island resort involuntarily subjected to marriage counseling. Vaughn and Favreau, who also wrote the film together, previously collaborated on the 1996 movie “Swingers.”
