After its second weekend, the movie tallies $41.7 million domestic and a worldwide total of $211 million. Domestically, it was a ‘tweener - neither a male actioner for videogame hounds, nor a smarthouse movie aimed at Swedish star Alicia Vikander, who won a Supporting Actress Oscar for “The Danish Girl.”īased on the 1996 video game series, Simon West’s 2001 “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider” starred the curvy 26-year-old Angelina Jolie, another young actress with Oscar cred (“Girl Interrupted”).
