Kung Fu Panda 3 Debuts on Top, Crushing the Competition

Posted on by

Kung Fu Panda 3Kung Fu Panda 3 debuted in first place this weekend earning an estimated $41 million. That’s the largest January opening of all-time. Other debuts this weekend didn’t fair nearly as well. The Finest Hours came in fourth place earning an estimated $10.3 million, Fifty Shades of Black opened in ninth and earned $6.2 million, Jane Got a Gun opened in 17th with $803,000, 2016 Oscar Nominated Short Films earned $505,000 for 21st, and Rabin, the Last Day was 40 with $7,854.

Overall, the box office was up compared to last year with holdover films not dropping much from the previous week. In second place was The Revenant which earned an estimated $12.4 million and in third was Star Wars: The Force Awakens which added $10.78 million to its total. Rounding out the top five was Ride Along 2 which earned an estimated $8.3 million.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens continues to rake in the cash with it crossing the $900 million mark domestically in the next week as well as crossing the $2 billion mark globally in that same time frame. The film is sitting in third in worldwide earnings (not adjusted) and is about $200 million from moving in to second and $800 million from toppling Avatar from the top spot. There’s a good chance it’ll move in to second, but first is quite a march with some tougher competition coming down the road.

The Revenant Comes Out on Top While Star Wars Moves up to Second

revenant-leoThe Revenant topped the box office this past weekend earning an estimated $16 million. The previous week it came in second. Star Wars: The Force Awakens moved up to second earning an estimated $14.257 million, and last week’s champ Ride Along 2 dropped to third earning an estimated $12.96 million. Three new entries filled fourth, fifth, and sixth place. Dirty Grandpa debuted with $11.525 million, The Boy earned $11.26 million, and The 5th Wave was sixth with $10.7 million.

The box office was down compared to the same weekend last year, and that may have been due to the blizzard hitting a lot of the East Coast.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens is nearing $900 million domestically. After this weekend it has earned $879.3 million, and in foreign markets its earned $1.06 billion for a grand total of $1.94 billion.

While the film is the top domestic grosser (not adjusted) of all time, it still has a while to go to take that title worldwide. It currently sits at third and is about $247 million shy of moving in to second place. It’d need $849 million more to move in the top spot.

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

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.
