Rogue One wins the US Christmas Box Office

Monday, December 26th, 2016

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story continues to dominate the US box office for the second weekend in a row.

Following its huge $155 million domestic debut last weekend, the Star Wars spinoff racked up an additional $64.4 million over the Christmas weekend. The total US gross for Rogue One is now $286.4 million.

Four new releases – Sing, Passengers, Why Him? and Assassin’s Creed – were no match for Rogue One, but it was the family-friendly animated film Sing faring best in second place with $35.3 million.

Although a space epic starring Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt is many a moviegoer’s dream, their new film Passengers didn’t fare well in the box office – only earning $14.9 million for third place.

Those three were followed by James Franco’s Why Him? bringing in $11 million at fourth place and Michael Fassbender’s live-action adaptation of the Assassin’s Creed video game series with $10.3 million in fifth place.

Last weekend’s second place Moana slipped into sixth place with $7.4 million.

The animated film has been a hit for Disney as it has enjoyed three weekends in the number one spot after debuting on top with $56.6 million.

After expanding to more theaters, Denzel Washington and Viola Davis’s drama Fences climbed up from number 25 to number 7 with $6.7 millions.

Rounding out the top ten spots were La La Land in eighth place with $5.7 million, Office Christmas Party in ninth place with $5.1 million and Collateral Beauty in tenth place with $4.3 million.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story tops the US box office

Sunday, December 18th, 2016

We always knew it was going to be a big weekend for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and it hasn’t disappointed, raking in an absolutely huge $155 million at the US box office.

On its first day in cinemas, the Star Wars spinoff took over $70 million; although it was still nowhere near the $238 million that Star Wars: The Force Awakens brought in last year.

Still, the massive opening weekend total puts the film leagues ahead of its closest competitor Moana, Disney’s latest princess picture which it knocked off the top spot. As in, over $140 million ahead, as Moana brought in another $11.67 million this week.

Kate McKinnon and Jason Bateman’s Office Christmas Party came in at number three, earning $8.45 million, while new entry Collateral Beauty debuted surprisingly low in the number four spot, bringing in $7 million.

The film has an all-star ensemble cast of Will Smith, Kate Winslet, Keira Knightley and Helen Mirren, but struggled to impress critics (or audiences).

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them fell to the fifth spot, earning $5.03 million, while Manchester by the Sea came in at number six, with $4.13 million, with La La Land just behind at seven with $4.02 million.

In eighth place was sci-fi film Arrival with $2.78 million, while Doctor Strange clung on to a top ten spot with $2.04 million.

Thriller Nocturnal Animals rounded out the top ten, bringing in $1.4 million.

Check out the Dec. 16-18 domestic estimates below:

1. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story – $155 million
2. Moana – $11.7 million
3. Office Christmas Party – $8.5 million
4. Collateral Beauty – $7 million
5. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them – $5 million
6. Manchester by the Sea – $4.2 million
7. La La Land – $4 million
8. Arrival – $2.8 million
9. Doctor Strange – $2 million
10. Nocturnal Animals – $1.4 million

Disney’s Moana holds on to the US box office for another week

Sunday, December 11th, 2016

Disney’s latest princess flick and record-breaking box office hit Moana has scored its third consecutive week at the top of the US Box Office.

The movie follows a teenage girl (Auli’i Cravalho) being chosen by the ocean to reunite a magical relic with a goddess, which sees her team up with shapeshifting demi-god Maui (Dwayne Johnson).

And it certainly seems to be working its magic on cinema-goers in the US.

The movie took in $18.8 million this week, adding to a combined total gross of $145 million in the US since it opened.

Moana saw off competition from Jennifer Aniston’s Office Christmas Party, which hit cinemas and came in second at the box office this week.

Despite being panned by a lot of publications, the movie boasts an all-star ensemble cast, with the likes of Kate McKinnon, Jason Bateman and TJ Miller, and has ultimately enjoyed success with audiences, taking in a cool $17.5 million.

Trailing in third place was JK Rowling’s latest cinematic venture Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, earning another $10.8 million and taking its gross domestic total close to $200 million.

Rounding out the US top five this week was Amy Adams’ Arrival at 4, earning another $5.6 million, while Marvel’s latest hit Doctor Strange enjoyed another week in fifth place, taking $4.6 million.

But with Rogue One: A Star Wars Story due to hit cinemas this week with early reactions looking good, we think Moana should prepared to be swept off the top spot pretty soon…

Here are the weekend’s top 10 highest-grossing films:

1. Moana – $18.8 million
2. Office Christmas Party – $17.5 million
3. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them – $10.8 million
4. Arrival – $5.6 million
5. Doctor Strange – $4.6 million
6. Allied – $4 million
7. Nocturnal Animals – $3.2 million
8. Manchester By the Sea – $3.16 million
9. Trolls – $3.11 million
10. Hacksaw Ridge – $2.3 million

‘Moana’ easily wins at the box office for a second straight weekend

Monday, December 5th, 2016

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at US and Canadian theaters, according to comScore.

Coming in at No. 2 is “Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them”. The film, now in its second frame, earned $6.5 million at 3,875 locations, raising its domestic total to just shy of $100 million.

“Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them” was #2 Friday with $5.0 million, while “Allied” grabbed #3 on the strength of $2.2 million.

Third place was held down by “Arrival”, with $7.3 million in receipts this weekend and $73 million in three weeks of exhibition. While there are still some big films on the horizon, including “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” and the animated “Sing”, it remains to be seen whether or not they will compete with the late-game 2015 juggernaut of “The Force Awakens”, which earned $652 million in the last 14 days of the year.

Arrival bounds past Robert Zemeckis’ Allied, the Brad Pitt/Marion Cotillard historical thriller, which tallies a little over $7 million across its sophomore weekend, bringing its total to $28.9 million since its November 23 premiere. Unadjusted for inflation, the film is now director Denis Villeneuve’s top earner in the region.

The weekend’s only new wide release, BH Tilt’s Incarnate, opened to an estimated $2.6 million for the weekend from 1,737 locations. The US$5 million film is being released under the Blumhouse label BH Tilt. The Darkness did, however, fall in-line with expectations, earning a healthy $10.8 millon on a modest budget as part of Tilt’s alternative releasing model.

The Christmas wave of new films began to roll out this weekend in limited release, with “Jackie” opening on just five screens nationwide and taking in $275,000, and “Lion” grossing $120,234 in seven theaters. The film, which is garnering awards buzz, was bought by Searchlight at the Toronto Film Festival in September. The film’s composer, Mica Levi, also earned recognition from the LAFCA on Sunday, receiving recognition as the critics circle’s runner-up in the Best Music Score category.

Amazon and Roadside’s Manchester by the Sea, which picked up several awards and nominations this week, earned $2.36 million this weekend as it expanded to 156 locations. But the box office for the year remains up around 4 percent.

Check out the Dec. 2-4 box office estimates below:

1. Moana – $28.4 million
2. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them – $18.5 million
3. Arrival – $7.3 million
4. Allied – $7 million
5. Doctor Strange – $6.5 million
6. Trolls – $4.6 million
7. Hacksaw Ridge – $3.4 million
8. Bad Santa 2 – $3.3 million
9. Incarnate – $2.7 million
10. Almost Christmas – $2.5 million
