Box-Office Weekend: Threepeat for Inside Out 2

For the third consecutive weekend, Inside Out 2 held onto the top spot of the box-office weekend; albeit besting the second film by a mere $4.4 million.

In its third weekend of release, Inside Out 2 brought in $57.4 million for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. This brings the film’s three-week total to an impressive $469.3 million. Meanwhile, Paramount Pictures enjoyed a $53.0 million debut from A Quiet Place: Day One that landed the film in second place. The latest from Warner Bros., Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 debuted at number three with $11.0 million over the weekend. Last weekend’s second-place film, Bad Boys: Ride or Die dropped to fourth place this weekend where it added $10.3 million to brings its four-week total to $165.3 million for Sony Pictures Releasing. Debuting in fifth place with $5.5 million was Kalki 2898 AD.

After debuting in third place last weekend, The Bikeriders slid down three spots to sixth place where it added $3.3 million, to bring its two-week total to $16.2 million for Focus Features. Also falling three spots was Sony Pictures Releasing’s The Garfield Movie, which, in its sixth week of release has taken in a total of $89.6 million for the studio. After staking a claim to fifth place last weekend, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes slid three spots to eighth place where it added $1.7 million, bringing its eight-week total to $168.1 million for 20th Century Studios. Debuting in the top ten at number nine was Jatt & Juliet 3 with $1.51 million. Finally, the Searchlight Pictures product Kinds of Kindness managed to crack the top ten in its second weekend of release after bringing in $1.5 million, raising its overall total to $2.0 million.

This weekend saw the disappearance of the five films that finished in sixth through tenth place last weekend. After seven weeks, Paramount Pictures managed to get a total of $109.7 million from IF, even if it couldn’t crack the top ten this weekend after claiming sixth place last week. With an overall total of $2.5 million, Vertical Entertainment’s The Exorcism also bowed out of the top ten after finishing in seventh place last weekend. After just two weeks in release, last week’s eighth-place film, Thelma, departs the top ten after bringing in a total of $5.1 million for Magnolia Pictures. Sporting a three-week total of $17.7 million for Warner Bros., The Watchers failed to make the top ten again this weekend, after landing in ninth place last weekend. Finally, Trafalgar Releasing’s GHOST: Rite Here Rite Now could not make the top ten again this weekend, after landing in tenth place last weekend. Still, the film managed to bring in a total of $2.6 million for the studio.
