Box-Office Sees Two Flop Weekends in a Row
Last weekend saw a string of new releases under perform in a very weak weekend, and this past weekend’s box-office is not much better. Only one debuting film wound up in the top five and two debuting films were in the top ten. All of this added up for the worst weekend of 2015 so far.
The Martian topped the box office again in its fifth week earning an additional $11.4 million at the domestic box-office. Goosebumps was second with $10.2 million and Bridge of Spies was third with $8.1 million.
In new films, Burnt earned just $5 million and Our Brand Is Crisis earned $3.4 million. Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse earned $1.8 million. The other three releases were in very limited releases with a total of 45 theaters between the three of them.
In other geeky news, Jem and the Holograms continues to tank adding just $290,000 in its second week. Inside Out earned $155,000 as it nears the end of its run. Ant-Man also added $148,000 in its sixteenth week.
In a little bit better news, the latest James Bond film, Spectre, opened in six territories and earned $80.4 million so far. That includes record-breaking numbers in the UK, Netherlands, Finland, Norway, Denmark, and on IMAX screens.
