Star Wars Drops to Third as Ride Along 2 Drives by to First

Posted on by

ride_along_2_0_1439549002It’d eventually happen, and this was the first weekend it was most likely to happen. Ride Along 2 was the top of the box office earning an estimated $34 million. That wasn’t close to the first film’s $41.5 million during the same weekend two years ago for the first film in the series. It was still enough to be in first place.

In second place was The Revenant which earned an estimated $29.5 million in its fourth week. It looks like the film has gotten a boost after it’s award wins and nominations.

Those two films bumped Star Wars: The Force Awakens to third. The film still brought in $25.12 million in its fifth week. The film has earned $856.94 million domestically, $1.012 billion internationally, for a total of $1.87 billion worldwide. It currently is fifth in international grosses, but it will quickly move in to fourth, and should easily move in to third. The film is currently third in all time grosses worldwide, about $320 million shy of Titanic, and $920 million shy of Avatar. There’s a good chance the film will slide in to second place, but it’d need a hell of a second wind to topple the top earner.

The propaganda film (take your pick for who) 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi debuted in fourth earning an estimated $16 million. Daddy’s Home was fifth adding $9.3 million to its total. Norm of the North, which also debuted this week, earned an estimated $6.68 million.

Star Wars Continues to Hold on to First. Revenant Comes on Strong

star-wars-force-awakens-official-posterStar Wars: The Force Awakens continued to hold first place, fighting off The Revenant which beat expectations. Star Wars added $41.63 million to its total while The Revenant earned $38 million after expanding its theater count.

That’s the fourth week in first place for Star Wars. It’s the top domestic earner and first film to cross the $800 million mark domestically. It now stands $812 million. The film also debuted in China earning $53 million which is reported as the largest Saturday/Sunday opening, but it’s also the only film to have opened on a Saturday. It also has the biggest Saturday of all time. The film currently sits at $1.733 billion. It needs another $400 million to move in to second and about $1 billion to move in to first.

For other movies, Daddy’s Home was third with $15 million, The Forest debuted in fourth with $13.1 million and Sisters was fifth at $7.2 million.

Star Wars Crosses $700 Million

star-wars-force-awakens-official-posterStar Wars: The Force Awakens was the top of the box office for the third week in a row adding an estimated $88.3 million to its total. The film ends the year crossing the $700 million mark with $740.27 million to be the top grossing film domestically.

The film’s success made it the second largest January weekend of all time falling about $4.5 million short of the record back in 2009 when Avatar was in theaters. The Force Awakens will likely pass that film’s all time domestic record of $760.5 million this coming week. The film is also the fastest film to cross $700 million domestically, doing in 16 days what it took Avatar 72 to do. The Force Awakens currently is the sixth highest grossing film of all time, and it will likely move in to fourth in a day or two and in to third be the end of the week the latest.

For the rest of the weekend box office, Daddy’s Home was in second place earning $29 million, with The Hateful Eight coming in third as it increased its theater count. That film earned an estimated $16.2 million. Sisters came in fourth adding $12.58 million to its total after three weeks. Rounding out the top five, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip earned an estimated $11.8 million.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Crosses $1 Billion, Stays in First

Posted on by

star-wars-force-awakens-official-posterThe records keep falling to Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The film broke even more records this past weekend. The film cross the $1 billion mark worldwide in record time. The film earned an estimated $153.5 million this past weekend, the highest second weekend of all time. It beat the previous record holder, Jurassic World, by $46.9 million. The film has earned $544 million domestically and $546 million internationally for a total of $1.09 billion.

In just two weekends, the film is now the second highest grossing domestic release in 2015 and the fifth worldwide. Avatar holds the domestic record of $760.5 million, and it’s not a question “if” Star Wars will top that, but more likely “when” will it top that. The film is currently fifteenth in the all-time non-adjusted grosses. It would have to over double its earnings, and has yet to open in some key markets like China.

A whole bunch of other films opened up this weekend as well.

Daddy’s Home opened in second place earning an estimated $38.8 million, better than expectations. Joy opened in third with $17.5 million. Concussion, which takes on the NFL and football, opened in sixth with $11 million. The Point Break remake came in eighth earning an estimated $10.2 million. The Hateful Eight opened in limited released coming in eleventh and earning $4.5 million. Also opening in limited release, The Revenant earned an estimated $471,000 and came in 21st; Mr. Six earned $286,847 for 24th place; and 45 Years earned $69,300 for 29th place.
