Box-Office Weekend: Now You See Me Is Seen

Box Office Weekend

As has been the pattern for a while now, a new release has managed to take the top spot of the box-office weekend as Now You See Me: Now You Don’t debuted $4.3 million ahead of the film that claimed second place.

“NOW YOU SEE ME: NOW YOU DON’T” posterIn its first weekend of release, the Lionsgate product Now You See Me: Now You Don’t took over the box-office weekend top ten bringing in $21.3 million for the studio. This proved to be enough to best the debut of Paramount Pictures International’s The Running Man which claimed second place with $17.0 million. These two solid debuts pushed last week’s top film, Predator: Badlands, to third place where it added $13.0 million over the weekend, bringing its two-week total to $66.3 million for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. Meanwhile, Regretting You also dropped two spots as the Paramount Pictures International release fell from second to third, bringing in $4.0 million over the weekend to give it a four-week total of $45.1 million. Universal Pictures saw Black Phone 2 fall from third to fifth where it made $2.7 million as it lifted its five-week total to $74.7 million for the studio.

Falling one spot to claim sixth place this weekend was Sony Pictures Classics’ Nuremberg which made $2.6 million over the weekend to lift the film’s two-week total to $8.7 million. Neon saw its release of Keeper debut in the seventh spot of this weekend’s top ten as it brought in $2.5 million over the course of its opening weekend. The Amazon MGM Studios release, Sarah’s Oil, fell four spots from last weekend to claim eighth place this weekend with $2.3 million, bringing the film’s two-week total to $8.7 million. Falling three spots to land in ninth place this weekend, Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc brought in $1.6 million for Sony Pictures Releasing, bringing the film’s four-week tally to $41.2 million. Finally, after cracking the top ten at the seventh spot last weekend, the Focus Features film Bugonia dropped to tenth place this weekend where it took in $1.6 million, raising the film’s four-week total to $15.7 million.

This weekend, the box-office weekend top ten saw the three bottom films from seven days ago drop from this weekend’s list. After two weeks in release, the MUBI product, Die My Love couldn’t repeat its eighth-place showing from last and instead had to settle for a to-date total of $5.0 million. Meanwhile, after a ninth-place finish last weekend, the Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures release of Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere failed to reclaim a spot in the top ten, but did bring its four-week total to $22.1 million for the studio. Finally, after six weeks in release and taking in an overall total of $72.7 million for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, Tron: Ares drops out of the weekend box-office top ten.
