Box Office Weekend: Pirates 5 Easily Wins Holiday Box Office
As pretty much everyone expected, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales planted the Jolly Roger atop the box office and took no prisoners, bringing in $62.2 million over the holiday weekend (not including the actual holiday of course).

Box Office Weekend: Latest Alien Film Takes Top Spot from Guardians
Alien: Covenant barely got past Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 to lay claim the number one spot at the box office for at least one weekend. The latest installment in the long-running Alien franchise brought in $36 million, which was just a bit over the week three total for Guardians of $35.1 million. Coming in at number three was the new romantic drama Everything, Everything, which made $12 milli...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Guardians of the Galaxy Sequel Owns Box Office
The summer blockbuster season shot off like a rocket as Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 pulled in an impressive $145 million at the box office its opening weekend. Considering that the first film made a total of $333 million domestically over the course of twenty-five weeks, it should have no problem surpassing the first film’s numbers. Meanwhile, The Fate of the Furious dropped to second with $8.5...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Screens are Furious Once Again
While it probably comes as no surprise to anyone that The Fate of the Furious was atop the domestic box office for the third week in a row, what might shock some are the films that came in second (How to be a Latin Lover) and third place (Baahuball 2: The Conclusion). The latest film in the Furious saga brought in just over $19 million to bring the title’s domestic gross to an impressive $192.7 mi...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Eight Figure Box Office for Magnificent Seven
The Magnificent Seven opened the final weekend of September with an estimated $35 million in domestic box office earnings…and while its $90 million costs may be tough to top (even with foreign box office adding to the totals), it was still enough to hold back the debut of Storks, which brought in an estimated $21.8 million against $70 million in costs. Both films pushed the previous champ Su...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Sully Rides High for Second Week
Sully not only held up well in its second week with a small drop in revenue (an estimated $22 million), but held onto first place with ease…the second-place finisher, Blair Witch, did not even break $10 million, with an estimated $9.7 million. Still, the latest horror entry in the long dormant franchise managed to nearly double its $5 million costs in a single weekend, even if it’s critical ...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Sully Lands On Target
Critics and audiences again made Captain Sullenberger a star. With Tom Hanks in the lead role, Sully, the story of the 2009 “Landing on the Hudson,” brought in the crowds with an estimated $35.5 million – though – though it has a $60 million budget to cover. With only $10 million to cover, When the Bough Breaks, the thriller of a husband, a wife, and an unstable surrogate mother, did well on its o...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Don’t Breathe Regulates Labor Day Box Office
Things are looking good for Don’t Breathe as it enters its second week at the top of the box office class. Through the holiday weekend, it held onto quite a bit of its income, as an estimated $19.6 million added up to a $55 million domestic total – well above its $9.9 million costs. And though it had much more ground to make up, Suicide Squad remained critic-proof and a success, staying in second ...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Don’t Breathe Exhales After Topping Box Office
While horror conventionally has a difficult time outside of October to land a coveted first-place finish, the critically acclaimed Don’t Breathe scored big with audiences, easily blowing past its $9.9 million budget with an estimated $26.1 million opening. Suicide Squad finally showed some signs of slowing down, which defied critics to become (now that The Secret Life of Pets has fallen off the li...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Suicide Squad Holds for Third Week
Suicide Squad may have been a critical dud, but the DC villains may be having the last laugh, holding onto first place for a third week in a row with an estimated $20.7 million weekend and $572.7 million in worldwide take. In second, Sausage Party remained a large draw for the R rated crowd with an estimated $15.3 million weekend and $65.3 million in domestic total, an excellent take so far for a ...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Suicide Squad Takes Dive
Suicide Squad may not have had the momentum to carry over from its record breaking opening weekend (falling to a $43.8 million weekend estimate), but the movie has still managed to best its production costs as it crosses $465.4 million in worldwide gross. In the meantime, Sausage Party was not able to quite duplicate that feat with an estimated $33.6 million and the second-place spot, but at a mer...[Read More]
