Shyamalan’s Split Tops the Weekend Box Office While XXX Comes in Second

Posted on by

splitM. Night Shyamalan‘s Split had an impressive debut at the box office earning an estimated $40.19 million in its opening weekend. That’s the fourth largest January opening. The film received a “B+” CinemaScore and had a 52% female audience and 52% under the age of 25.

Also new at the box office, xXx: The Return of Xander Cage earned an estimated $20 million domestically and $50.5 million internationally for a debut that was in line with expectations. The film has a budget of just $85 million and received an “A-” CinemaScore. It should do just fine in the long run.

Hidden Figures dropped to third place adding $16.25 million to its total. The film has earned $84.2 million so far in its run which should continue to do well with awards season plugging along.

Sing was in fourth place adding $9 million to its total to bring the domestic earnings to $249.4 million. Rounding out the top five was La La Land with $8.35 million to bring its domestic total to $89.7 million.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story added $7 million to its total to bring its overall earnings to over $1 billion.

In comic film news, Doctor Strange added $145,000 to its domestic total to bring that to $231.5 million. We’ll be back in an hour for more insight into how 2016’s comic films performed.

Hidden Figures Wins the Weekend Box Office

Posted on by

hidden-figures-750x315_origHidden Figures won the weekend box office with an estimated $20.45 million in its fourth week of release. The film has earned $54.8 million domestically so far getting a nice boost from award season buzz.

In second place was another film getting award buzz (and wins) with La La Land which earned an estimated $14.5 million after six weeks. The film has earned $74.1 million domestically and $54.8 million at the foreign box office for a worldwide total of $128.9 million.

In third place was Sing which sat in the same position last week. That film earned $13.8 million to bring its domestic total to $233 million. Its worldwide total stands at $397.3 million.

In fourth was Rogue One: A Star Wars Story which dropped from last weekend’s second place. The film added $13.8 million to its total and its domestic total is now $498.9 million. Worldwide the film has earned $979.95 million. It’ll likely cross the billion dollar mark in the next week or two. The film is now the number one domestic film of 2016.

In fifth was the new film The Bye Bye Man which debuted with $13.4 million. With a budget of just $7.4 million the folks behind that film should be quite happy with that debut and the film will make a nice profit by the time it wraps up.

Monster Trucks was another debut opening at #7 and earning $10.5 million. The reportedly $125 million film is an utter disaster already causing issues for Paramount and Viacom.

Opening just behind that film is Sleepless at #8 with an estimated $8.5 million.

Doctor Strange is still earning some dollars coming in at #27 with an estimated $197,000. The film has earned $231.2 million domestically and has earned $427.9 million at foreign box offices. The film is currently at $659.2 million worldwide.

We’ll be back in an hour to further discuss 2016’s comic film adaptations.

rogueone_onesheeta_1000_309ed8f6Rogue One: A Star Wars Story repeated in first place for the fourth weekend in a row earning an estimated $21.97 million for the weekend. The film has earned $477.3 million domestically and now stands at $914.4 million worldwide. That has had the film move into fifth place for worldwide earnings for a film released in 2016.

In a close second was Hidden Figures which received its national release. The film earned $21.8 million for the weekend bringing its total to an estimated $24.8 million after three weeks. The film had a budget of $25 million so should do quite well especially after lots of buzz and positive word of mouth. The film’s success was driven by a diverse audience that was 64% female, 56% of the audience under the age of 35, and 43% of the audience Caucasian, 37% African-American, and 13% Hispanic.

In third place was Sing which added an estimated $19.6 million to bring its domestic total to $213.4 million and worldwide total to $356.9 million. The film is doing quite well, especially with a budget of just $75 million.

In fourth was Underworld: Blood Wars which earned an estimated $13.1 million. The film debuted with the lowest opening for an Underworld film and received a “B+” CinemaScore. It’s unknown what the international earnings are so far. With a budget of $35 million, the film will likely make a slight profit by the time things are done.

In fifth was La La Land which was boosted due to awards season. The film earned an estimated $10 million for a domestic gross of $51.7 million. With a budget of just $30 million, the film will do quite well in the long run and make a nice profit.

In comic book films, Doctor Strange was #19 earning $330,000 as the film begins to wrap up its domestic run. The film has earned $230.9 million domestically and $658.9 million worldwide. The film still needs to debut in Japan so it’s unknown how it’ll look when it’s completely over.

We’ll be back in an hour with an updated look at comic book movie adaptations released in 2016.

Rogue One Wins the Weekend Again, Sing Holds for Second

Posted on by

Star Wars Rogue OneAs expected, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was number one at the box office again this holiday weekend bringing in an estimated $49.5 million. The film has earned $424.9 million domestically after three weeks.

In second place, again as expected, was Sing which earned an additional $42.8 million domestically in its second week. That’s an improvement on the previous weekend where it earned $35.3 million. Domestically the film has earned $166.4 million after two weeks and with a budget of $75 million the film is doing quite well.

Passengers also improved upon last weekend’s  $14.9 million. The film remained in third adding $16.2 million to its domestic total. The film sits at $61.5 million after two weeks and with a budget of $110 million it’ll have to fight to become profitable.

Moana improves moving to fourth from sixth and earning an estimated $10.97 million after six weeks. The film has earned $210 million domestically.

Rounding out the top five is Why Him? which added $10.6 to its domestic total. With $34.6 million earned and a $38 million budget, the film should make a small profit.

Assassin’s Creed dropped to eighth in its second week earning an estimated $8.6 million. With $39.6 million in so far the film needs a miracle.

For comics Doctor Strange was #18 earning $665,000 domestically. The film has earned $230.1 million domestically so far after nine weeks and will soon be wrapping up its domestic run.

We’ll update this as more info comes in and come back in an hour as we look at where the comic films ended up for the year.

 

Rogue One Tops the Box Office While Assassin’s Creed is Game Over

Posted on by

Star Wars Rogue OneEven with some big name competition Rogue One: A Star Wars Story topped the box office with an estimated $64.4 million over the weekend. That’s a drop of 58.5% from the previous weekend and with another estimated $31.7 million on Monday the film sits at $318 million domestically. With $237.4 million in foreign box offices the film has earned $555.5 million so far.

Rogue One sits at fourth in domestic earnings for Star Wars films, eighth when that’s adjusted for inflation, and sixth for worldwide earnings.

The film was followed by a bunch of new film openings. Sing was in second place earning $35.3 million over the three-day weekend and $55.9 million domestically since its opening earlier in the week. With a budget of just $75 million the film should do quite well especially with families over the holiday season especially with an “A” CinemaScore and 72% rating on RottenTomatoes.

In third was Passengers which opened with $14.9 million over the three days and $22.2 since it opened on Wednesday. At a $110 million budget and bad reviews, the film is on shaky ground. It’ll probably need the power of its stars to drive earnings in foreign box offices to come out at the other end doing well.

Why Him? opened in fourth at an estimated $11.1 million over the three days. With a budget of just $38 million the “R” rated film should do fine and make back it’s money.

Finally, in what can only be seen as a disappointment, Assassin’s Creed earned an estimated $10.3 million of the three days and $17.8 million since its open on Wednesday. The film has earned another $14.2 million in foreign box offices and with a budget of $125 million it can only be seen as a flop continuing the video game movie curse. With a 19% on RottenTomatoes and B+ CinemaScore, the film is doomed for game over.

In comic films, Doctor Strange added an estimated $634,000 to its total to drop to 16th from the previous week’s 9th. The film is at $228.3 million domestically and $656.1 million worldwide.
