Nothing changed this past weekend, in regards to the top two spots as Gravity and Captain Phillips both held onto their first and second position.
Probably the biggest shock / surprise of the weekend was the 8th place finish for the Wikileaks movie, The Fifth Estate. To put this into perspective for you, it debuted with a per-screen average nearly equal to Prisoners, a film in its FIFTH week of release. Another interesting nugget is that Machete Kills has already fallen off, just a week after its release.
You can peruse the weekend box office numbers below:
1.) Gravity – $31 M
2.) Captain Phillips – $17.3 M
3.) Carrie – $17 M
4.) Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 – $10.1 M
5.) Escape Plan – $9.8 M
6.) Prisoners – $2 M
7.) Enough Said – $1.8 M
8.) The Fifth Estate – $1.7 M
9.) Runner Runner – $1.6 M
10.) Insidious: Chapter 2 – $1.5 M
This coming weekend we get Ridley Scott and writer Cormac McCarthy’s all-star thriller “The Counselor” as well as “Jackass Presents Bad Grandpa”.
