Mark Wahlberg's latest film, 'Arthur the King', which opened in theaters on March 15, has made a notable entrance at the box office, fetching $825,000 in previews and $3 million on its opening day. The film, inspired by a real-life story of an unlikely relationship between a man and a stray dog in Ecuador, has been well-received, breaking Wahlberg's streak of poor Rotten Tomatoes scores by being deemed 'fresh' by critics. Despite its success, 'Arthur the King' faces tough competition at the box office, trailing behind sequels like 'Kung Fu Panda 4', which is expected to reign supreme with a $30M+ second weekend, and 'Dune 2', heading for $200M+. Wahlberg, showing love to his new home after the launch of his film, is also hosting a free screening in Las Vegas.
