The LEGO Batman Movie was able to hold off three new releases and retain the top spot at the box office. The film brought in an estimated $34.2 million after dropping only 35.4% during its second weekend. The film is sitting just under $100 million domestically after its second weekend reports Box Office Mojo.
Fifty Shades Darker came in second place for the second straight weekend with $20.9 million and has grossed just under $90 million domestically. This is slightly less than the $22.3 million that Fifty Shades of Grey brought in during its second weekend back in 2015.
The Great Wall debuted at third place with $18.1 million. The film has already collected over $240 million internationally and it will be interesting to see if the film can find a larger audience domestically. John Wick: Chapter Two finished in fourth place with $16.5 million and is sitting just under $60 million domestically.
Fist Fight rounds out the top five with $12 million and I predict that this will be the only weekend this film is ranked in the top five. Hidden Figures drops down to sixth place with $7.1 million and has now grossed $142.6 million domestically after 57 days of release. Split brought in $7 million while La La Land brought in $4.5 million.
A Cure for Wellness rounds out the top 10 with a disappointing opening weekend of $4.2 million. It doesn’t appear that this film will remain in the top 10 next weekend and will struggle to reach $30 million domestically.
The LEGO Batman Movie will have another trio of new releases coming next weekend including Get Out, the new thriller from Jordan Peele.
