Weekend Wrap-Up: Hidden Figures is in the Spotlight earning $22.80 million The winners of our Blood Oath contest contest were determined and the entrants with the closest predictions for Underworld: Blood Wars’s opening weekend were. It likely won’t even be close.Ĭontest: Blood Oath: Winning Announcement That’s not enough to win in the year-over-year competition. On the positive side, there were only four films that earned more than $10 million during the three-day weekend and this year we should have five. There’s no film that will match that figure during the four-day weekend. This weekend last year, Ride Along 2 opened with just over $35 million over the three-day weekend. As for holdovers, Hidden Figures has a real shot at first place, while La La Land should get a boost from its Awards Season success. We still haven’t mentioned all of the new films.
Meanwhile, Sleepless is only opening in 1,800 theaters, while Silence is expanding into 750 theaters. The biggest wide release of the week is Monster Trucks, which is opening in 2,800 theaters. In fact, it might be the only “new†film in the top five. However, only one of them, Patriots Day, has a real shot at first place. Six films are opening or expanding this weekend, which have a shot at the top ten. Weekend Predictions: Will the Patriots Win the Weekend? Or Will Hidden Remain Up Front? Year-to-date, 2017 is behind 2016 by 15% at $562 million to $659 million, but again, it is way too soon to make any predictions. However, this is still 10% lower than the same weekend last year. It’s good enough for an 8.5% increase from last weekend reaching $149 million. On the positive side, while there was only one film to earn more than $20 million over the weekend, there were seven that earned $10 million or more. The best of the new releases / wide expansions was The Bye Bye Man, which earned fifth place with $15.20 million. Weekend Wrap-Up: Hidden Figures Really Helps the Box Office with $27.51 millionĪs expected, Hidden Figures remained in first place as the box office was dominated by holdovers. Meanwhile, the Mean Dreams DVD earns Puck of the Week, for the best Canadian release of the week. As for the best of the new releases, The Criterion Collection release for Tampopo is the best and the only real choice for Pick of the Week. The number of Oscar contenders have nearly dried up and there are more bombs than box office hits. We are entering the worst time of year for the home market.
