The box office just had one of their worst weekends in over 15 years. The combined domestic gross of the top twelve films failed to top $50 million. The only good news came for The Hitman’s Bodyguard, which retained the top spot at the box office.
The Ryan Reynolds & Samuel L. Jackson action comedy brought in $10.3 million and is close to passing $40 million domestically.
Annabelle: Creation came in second place for the second straight weekend with $7.7 million and is about to pass $80 million domestically after 17 days.
The new animated release Leap! opened in third place with $4.7 million. This shows how slow the box office was as the third place release didn’t even break $5 million.
Wind River saw the largest leap as it jumped six spots to fourth place with $4.6 million and has now passed $10 million domestically.
Logan Lucky rounds out the top five with $4.4 million. The film has only brought in $15 million domestically.
Dunkirk passed $170 million domestically after 38 days and Spider-Man: Homecoming is closing in on $320 million domestically after 52 days.
Birth of the Dragon opened in eighth place with $2.7 million. It should also be noted that the Mayweather/McGregor fight was shown in theaters and actually made $2.6 million from these showings.
We don’t have any new wide releases and it’s Labor Day weekend so it could be another really rough weekend at the box office.
