It Looks to Regain the Top in a Close Race with American Made

Posted on by

It currently has scared up enough money to retake the top of the box office earning an estimated $17.3 million. The film had slipped to second last week. The film has earned a monstrous $291.2 million domestically on a $35 million budget. The film has also earned an estimated $262 million at the foreign box office for a worldwide total of $553.2 million.

In second place was Tom Cruise’s American Made which earned an estimated $17.02 million on a $50 budget. That total is better than Cruise’s 2012 Jack Reacher. The movie has been playing since August internationally where it has already earned $64.7 million to bring its total to $81.7 million.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle dropped to third with a 56.4% decrease in its second weekend. Domestically, the film has earned $66.7 million and internationally it has earned $126.2 million for a total of $192.9 million. Domestically the film is lagging the first at the same point in its run. But, internationally the film is ahead where the original was at this point. It still has to open in France in mid-October, China on October 20, and Japan January 5. The original earned $414.4 million for its complete run.

Things may shift a bit for the top three when the official numbers are released.

Dropping from third to fourth was The LEGO Ninjago Movie which added $12 million to its domestic total. After two weeks, the film has earned $35.6 million. Internationally, the film has earned $22.7 million for a global total of $58 million. That’s far below the previous two Lego films.

Another debut rounded out the top five. Flatliners, a remake of a 1990 film, opened with $6.7 million. That was less than the original made 27 years ago. The film had a budget of just $19 million but it had a challenge to do well with It being such a hit and the same genre. The film also brought in $3.1 million from overseas. It won’t be a disaster and will cover the budget but it’s another example of a remake that wasn’t needed or wanted. A closer opening to Halloween might have benefited the film.

When it comes to comic adaptations….

Spider-Man: Homecoming came in at #18 adding $600,000 to its domestic total. Domestically the film has earned $332.7 million and at the foreign box office it has earned $542.4 million for a worldwide total of $875.1 million.

We’ll be back in an hour for a deeper dive into this year’s comic adaptation stats.

This coming weekend Blade Runner 2049 will likely dominate the box office while My Little Pony makes its debut.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle Tops the Box Office While LEGO Ninjago Falls Short

Kingsman: The Golden Circle was the top of the box office this past weekend earning an estimated $39 million with a budget of $104 million. That’s an improvement on the $36.2 million opening for the first film in the series which eventually went on to earn $128.3 million domestically and $414.4 worldwide. The sequel also brought in an estimated $61.2 million overseas from 55 territories.

The film received a “B+” CinemaScore and played to an audience that was 58% male, 65% was 25 years or older, and 60% between the ages of 18 and 34.

Coming in second place was It which added $30 million to its domestic total to bring the film to $266.3 million domestically. It’s the highest grossing R-rated horror film of all-time (not adjusted for inflation). Worldwide the film has earned $478 million, a monster haul.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie looks like it’s off to a bumpy start earning $21.2 million which is the lowest opening for a movie in the LEGO franchise and short of expectations. The film received a “B+” CinemaScore, the lowest of the franchise. The film was 48% male and 52% female, and 46% under the age of 18. Internationally, the film also earned an estimated $10.5 million from 37 markets and will roll out in other markets through October. It’s possible two films in the franchise in one year was a misstep.

In fourth place was American Assassin which added $6.3 million to its domestic total to bring that to $26.2 million on a $33 million budget. Worldwide the film has earned $32.3 million after two weeks.

Rounding out the top five was Home Again which added $3.3 million to its domestic total bringing that to $22.3 million off of a $12 million budget.
