Box Office Weekend

Deadpool & Wolverine enjoyed another stay at the top of the box-office weekend as the film managed to hold the top spot for a third consecutive week.

With $54.2 million earned over the weekend, Deadpool & Wolverine held the number one spot of the top ten by a margin of $4.2 million. This gives the Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures product an overall total of $494.3 million. Meanwhile, Sony Pictures Releasing saw It Ends with Us debut in second place this weekend where it brought in $50.0 million for the studio. Last weekend’s second-place film, Universal Pictures’ Twisters dropped to third place where it brought in $15.0 million this weekend, lifting its four-week total to $222.3 million. In fourth place, the Lionsgate Films offering Borderlands debuted with $8.8 million to show for its first few days in release. All of this movement pushed Despicable Me 4 down a spot to a fifth-place finish this weekend with $8.0 million, giving the Universal Pictures production a six-week tally of $330.1 million.

Falling three spots to land in sixth-place this weekend was Warner Bros.’ Trap which took in $6.7 million to bring the film’s two-week total to $28.7 million. Elsewhere, Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures saw Inside Out 2 drop two spots to land in seventh this weekend where it added $5.0 million to raise its nine-week tally to $636.5 million. Also losing two spots was the Columbia Pictures release Harold and the Purple Crayon which finished in eighth-place with $3.1 million over the weekend. This brings the film’s two-week total to $12.9 million. Cuckoo enjoyed a debut in the top ten in the ninth spot where it took in $3.0 million in its first weekend of release. Finally, longlegs fell three spots to claim the tenth spot this weekend with $2.0 million, giving the film a five-week total of $71.3 million.

Three films were thrust from the top ten this weekend as last week’s eighth- through tenth-place finishers all failed to make this weekend’s list. After two weeks in release, the Atlas Distribution Company product The Firing Squad leaves the top ten after claiming eighth-place last weekend after bringing in a total of $1.6 million. Meanwhile, A Quiet Place: Day One has made Paramount Pictures $138.6 million over the last seven weeks, despite not cracking the top ten this weekend. Finally, after breaking into the top ten last weekend, the re-release of Ponyo vanished completely this weekend.
