The Hitman’s Bodyguard repeated at the top of the box office in its second weekend adding $10.1 million domestically to its earnings bringing that to $39.6 million off of a $30 million budget. That’s the best of what is the worst August weekend in 20 years and worst overall weekend since the end of September 2001.

The top twelve films failed to bring in over $50 million. That hasn’t happened in August in over 20 years. The films totaled $49 million which is the worst since late September 2001. The next few weeks will be rough as the next major release isn’t until September 8 with It. The weekend’s total of $64 million is also the worst overall weekend since September 2001.

Annabelle: Creation came in second place for the second weekend in a row adding $7.4 million to its total for $77.9 million domestically and $215.1 million worldwide on a budget of just $15 million.

In third place was new film Leap! which brought in $5 million. Fourth was held by Wind River with $4.4 million and a massive expansion to almost 2100 theaters.

Finally, the top five was rounded out by Logan Lucky with $4.4 million to bring its total to $15 million domestically and $16 million worldwide.

Of note, speculation is that the much hyped Mayweather vs. McGregor fight played into the down box office and interestingly that fight brought in $2.6 million through Fathom Events to come in eighth.

When it comes to comic adaptations….

Spider-Man: Homecoming held steady at #7 adding $2.7 million to its domestic total.

Wonder Woman improved in the ranking going from #16 to #13 adding $1.7 million to its domestic total.

Atomic Blonde dropped from #13 to #21 with $861,875 added to its domestic total.

Finally, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 added $117,000 to its domestic total.

We’ll be back in an hour for a further break down of comic adaptations for the year.
