Posted on by

miss-peregrines-home-for-peculiar-childrenTwo films that saw their debut this past weekend topped the box office. Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children came in first place with an estimated $28.5 million. The film has an estimated budget of $110 million and also earned $36.5 million internationally from 59 markets. That’s $65 million worldwide for a film that received a B+ Cinesmascore and stands at 64% on RottenTomatoes. Both of those indicate the film will likely do ok in the long run, but who knows if it’ll make back its budget domestically.

In second place was Deepwater Horizon earning an estimated $20.6 million. The film also has a $110 million budget and also earned $12.4 million internationally from 52 markets. That film earned an A- Cinemascore and an 82% rating on RottenTomatoes. Both of those will drive the film for a bit, though it won’t likely cross $100 million domestically.

Those two films dropped the last weekend’s first and second place down with The Magnificent Seven adding an estimated $15.7 million domestically and Storks adding an estimated $13.8 million domestically.

Also debuting was Masterminds which came in sixth and earned an estimated $6.6 million.

Suicide Squad dropped out of the top ten and came in eleventh earning an estimated $1.91 million domestically. The film has earned $320.8 million domestically, $413 million internationally, and that means $733.8 million worldwide. There’s a possibility the film will pass Batman v Superman as far as domestic earnings, it’s currently $10 million behind. It’s currently 15th in worldwide earnings and is $14 million behind X-Men: Days of Future Past.

We’ll have a further look at where the comic films stand this year in an hour.

Magnificent Seven Tops a Slow Weekend

large_magnificent_seven_ver3The Magnificent Seven topped the weekend, earning an estimated $35 million. The film received an “A-” Cinemascore and has a 63% rating on RottenTomatoes, so should finish domestically a little higher than its reported $90 million budget. It also earned an estimated $24.8 million from foreign box offices as well.

In second place was the film Storks which brought in an estimated $21.8 million. That film has a reported budget of $70 million and an “A-” Cinemascore as well. It’ll probably do well in the long run making its budget back and then some domestically. It also earned $18.3 million at the foreign box office.

Those two films knocked down the previous champion Sully to third. That film brought in $13.8 million. Blair Witch dropped from second to sixth bringing in $3.95 million.

The box office is down a second weekend in a row. The top twelve films failed to combine for over $100 million and the weekend was 25% lower than the same weekend last year.

When it comes to comic films Suicide Squad slipped just one spot adding $3.11 million to its domestic total. The film has earned $731.7 million worldwide this year. It currently sits behind Deadpool in worldwide earnings. That film earned $782.6 million, so it’s doubtful it’ll catch up. But domestically is a different story. The film is $5 million behind Deadpool, so there’s a good chance it’ll surpass it, though won’t catch up to Batman v Superman‘s $330.3 million.
