Highest new movie this weekend
Making its debut at number 2 this weekend is the sequel movie to Puss in Boots which itself is a spin off from the Shrek series of movies.
The movie makes its debut with a gross of $12.4 Million, which is considerably lower than the $34 Million of the 2011 first movie.
The Shrek series started way back in 2001 and was an instant hit with a $42 Million opening for the first movie, Shrek 2 opened in 2004 with $108 Million.
The bio-pic about superstar Whitney Houston and her rise to fame and premature death makes it debut at number 3 this weekend.
A $4.7 Million debut is disappointing and lower than expectations, Oscar buzz might give the movie a bit of a push but the future is looking like a quick release on streaming.
Another movie with an all star Oscar potential cast fails to perform at the box office this weekend as the new Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie double header lands at number 4.
A $3.6 Millon debut for a movie costing $80 Million is not a great result and the studio must be looking at way to increase the exposure of this movie.
Falling to number 5 this weekend is the Sata Claus meets Home Alone which takes $3.5 Million on its 7th weekend of release, a 30% drop over last week.
The movie has now taken $41 Million on its box office run as the movie hits streaming on Christmas eve.
