Highest new movie of the weekend
With no major new releases out again this weekend halloween seems to have started early as this new horror movie from director Jessica M. Thompson hits the top spot on its debut.
The movie takes $7 Million on its debut weekend, and with little in the way of new movies in the coming weeks, and the halloween season fast approaching this could be a mainstay into October.
Taking advantage of the lack of but new movies the Brad Pitt starring vehicle jumps back up to number 2 this weekend with $5.6 Million, a 30% drop from last weekend.
This gives the train movie a total US gross of $78.2 Million over its 4 weeks of release.
The movie which stars Idris Elba punching a killer lion falls to 3 this weekend with $4.9 Million, a large 58% drop on its second weekend of release.
The movie has now taken $20 Million at the North American box office, this should have been a bigger hit for the star who is a box office pull these days but the marketing for the movie has been poor and it looks like it will sink onto home video quickly.
Another film taking advantage of the lack of big new movie release, the biggest movie of the summer stays inside the top 5 for a 14th weekend with a gross of $4.7 Million at number 4, a small 20% drop from last weekend.
Whats even more impressive is that the movie is released onto digital home video this week, which does not seem to have effect the box office pull of the movie.
It is by far the top movie of the year with $691 Million, a place it will remain at as the year closes, it is also now the 6th top movie of all time in the US and will close in on Black Panther in the coming days to enter the top 5 of all time.
Taking a massive dive from its debut position as the top last weekend is the Japanese animated movie which falls to number 5 this weekend with $4.5 Million, a 77% drop over last weekend which gives it a total US gross of $30.7 Million after 2 weeks.
