The Hitman’s Bodyguard Wins the Worst Labor Day Weekend in 17 Years

Posted on by

It was another bad weekend at the box office but The Hitman’s Bodyguard won it again in the worst Labor Day three day weekend in 17 years. The top twelve films grossed $51.5 million and you have to go back to 2000 to get a worst weekend. That weekend grossed $47 million.

The Hitman’s Bodyguard did a three-peat earning an estimated $10.25 million to bring its total to $54.9 million on a $30 million budget.

Annabelle: Creation held the number two spot again earning an estimated $7.3 million to bring its domestic total to $89.0 million and worldwide is $253.4 million. That’s impressive for a $15 million budget.

In third place was Wind River which added $5.8 million to its domestic total. That film switched spots with Leap! which dropped to fourth adding $4.9 million to its total.

Rounding out the top five was Logan Lucky which holds that position adding $4.4 million to its domestic total bringing it to $21.5 million and $24.6 million worldwide on a $29 million budget.

When it comes to comic adaptations…

Spider-Man: Homecoming remained at #7 adding $3.7 million to its domestic total to bring it to $324.1 million. With its $422.1 million at the foreign box office the film sits at $746.2 million.

Wonder Woman improved some spots moving from #15 to #12 adding $1.9 million to its domestic total. The film has earned $408.9 million domestically and $403.7 million at the foreign box office for a total of $812.6 million total.

Inhumans is one I’ll add to the list coming in at #18 with $1.5 million. The “film” is a hybrid movie/television show between Marvel, ABC, and IMAX. It’s an IMAX only “film” limiting its reach and money in. It also brought in $1.1 million from 274 international runs in 65 markets with Germany, Italy, and South Korea still to come.

Atomic Blonde came in #26 with $887,145 to its domestic total. The domestic total is $50.4 million and $89.8 million worldwide. Not bad for a $30 million budget.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 added $210,000 to its domestic total. Domestically the film has earned $389.6 million and a worldwide total of $863 million to be the top comic adaptation of the year worldwide so far.

We’ll be back in an hour with even more of a look at this year’s comic adaptations.

The Hitman’s Bodyguard Repeats at Number One During the Worst Weekend in Over 15 Years

Posted on by

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.
