Buddy added $1.8M domestic on Saturday, down 19.1% from Friday's already-soft $2.2M, pushing the two-day domestic total to $4.0M against the same figure worldwide.
A comedy that loses ground on Saturday has already answered its own weekend question.
Saturday is normally the day a wide comedy release builds on a soft Friday, not loses ground to one — matinee and date-night traffic typically lift the second day even when the opening number undershoots expectations. A 19.1% drop instead of the usual bump is a meaningfully worse signal than Friday's number alone suggested.
No budget figure is confirmed yet, so there's no recovery math to run. What's measurable is the shape of the weekend so far: two soft days in a row, with Sunday now needing to hold rather than fall further just to keep the three-day total from reading as a genuine flop opening.
