Spy Wins the Box Office, San Andreas Crashes

Posted on by

spy-poster-2015-hd-wallpaperSpy won the weekend box-office, earning an estimated $30 million. That knocked down last weekend’s winner San Andreas to second place earning an estimated $26.4 million.

Other films opening this week Insidious Chapter 3, and Entourage opened in third and fourth respectively. Insidious Chapter 3 earned $23 million. Entourage earned $10.4 million. Entourage did have a good worth of mouth, so maybe the film will do well in the long run.

Mad Max: Fury Road dropped to fifth earning $7.97 million and bringing its worldwide total to $307.8 million.

Avengers: Age of Ultron earned $6.2 million bringing its global total to $1.35 billion. It’s still in second so far this year behind Furious 7. Age of Ultron is in fifth all time for earnings and will open in Japan on July 4th. That might put it over Furious 7.

This coming weekend Jurassic World opens, and is guaranteed to be in first.
