Tenet continued to hold on to the top of the box office with an estimated $2.7 million gross over the weekend. That’s down 20.6% from the previous weekend. It brings the film’s domestic gross to $45.1 million after 5 weeks.

Over the week, the film brought in about $20 million at the international box office. It now stands at $262 million at the foreign box office. Worldwide, the film has brought in $307.1 million.

In second place was the re-release of Hocus Pocus. The film earned a little over $1.9 million domestically for the weekend.

That re-release bumped The New Mutants to third place. It earned an estimated $1 million domestically for the weekend, a drop of 14.7%. That brought up those earnings to $20.9 million. Internationally, the film added about $1.6 million over the entire week. There it has grossed $21 million total so far to bring its worldwide earnings to $41.9 million. It continues to have about a 50/50 split for domestic and international earnings, a rarity in today’s box office.

Unhinged dropped to fourth place adding $870,000 to its domestic earnings which now stands at $18.4 million. The drop is just 10.1% from the previous weekend.

Infidel rounds out the top five with an estimated $455,000 domestically, a drop of 40.2%. It has now earned $3.4 million after 3 weeks.

28 films totaled a little under $8.3 million for the weekend box office and 15,744 theaters. That’s about $600,000 less from 9 more films compared to the previous week and about 3,500 fewer theaters. Each theater last week brought in just $462 last week while this week saw the number increase a bit to a little under $527.

Things are about to get much crazier at the box office with Regal Cinemas and Cineworld now shutdown until 2021. The future of movie theaters was in question and now there’s even more to ponder about movie releases as a whole. Will fewer options increase the per average theater earnings? We’ll have to wait and see and anyone claiming definitives is making it up. As the Terminator emphasized, the future is unwritten, and that’s currently very true when it comes to the future of movie theaters.

The past weekend box office looked a lot like the past weekend’s with Tenet taking first and The New Mutants taking second.

Tenet dipped 27.7% from the previous weekend bringing in $3.4 million domestically. That brought its total to $41.2 million after 4 weeks. Internationally, the film is doing better with 85.5% of its current grosses coming from there. It’s international earnings stand at $242 million which is an increase of $39 million over the week. Worldwide, the film has earned $283.2 million.

The New Mutants held on to second place dipping 37.1% from the previous weekend. The film earned a little under $1.15 million for the weekend domestically. It currently stands at $19.5 million. Over the week, the film gained about $2.1 million at the international box office. It’s a rare film with a nearly 50/50 split for grosses at the international and domestic box office. Internationally, the film has earned $19.4 million. That brings its worldwide total to a little under $38.9 million.

With an estimated budget of $67 to $80 million, things aren’t dire for the film but one wonders if it’d have done better with a video-on-demand run instead. Even if just 1 million individuals paid $30, it’d be a net gain as Disney would not have had to split earnings with theaters.

Unhinged moved up to third place for the weekend dipping 22% and bringing in an even $1 million. The film has earned $17.2 million at the domestic box office so far.

Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back has had a re-release bringing in $908,000 and placing the film in fourth place. Its apparently been going on for 11 weeks and the film has earned $1.9 million domestically during the re-release.

Rounding out the top five was Infidel which dropped 46.2% and earned $745,000 to bring its domestic total to $2.7 million after two weeks.

19 films brought in a total of just $8.9 million at the weekend domestic box office. That covers 19,242 theaters and that means each theater brought in just $462. Theaters have to be struggling at this point and one questions if it’d have been smarter to remain closed for a longer period to minimize losses.

In third place was a new film Infidel which brought in $1.5 million.

Unhinged dropped from third to fourth with $1.3 million domestically, down 14.3%. That brings the films’ domestic earnings to $15.7 million.
