Box-Office Weekend: Deadpool & Wolverine Repeat

After reclaiming the top spot of the box-office weekend seven days ago, Deadpool & Wolverine did not let up and held onto the number-one slot this weekend by a $5.9 margin.

In its sixth week of release, Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures’ Deadpool & Wolverine had already brought in $599.5 million for the studio and managed to remain atop the box-office weekend top ten for s second straight week. Meanwhile, Alien: Romulus also held onto its position from last weekend with $9.3 million earned over the last three days, giving the film a three-week tally of $88.8 million for the second offering from Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures in this week’s top ten. With $7.42 million, It Ends with Us held onto third place Sony Pictures Releasing while bringing its four-week total up to $133.7 million. The first debut of the weekend, the biopic Reagan, landed in fourth place with $7.4 million. Last weekend’s sixth-place film, Twisters, climbed into fifth place this weekend, adding $7.2 million to raise its seven-week tally to $258 million for Universal Pictures.

Dropping two spots and landing in sixth place was Blink Twice where it brought in $4.7 million, lifting it two-week total to $15.3 million. Affirm Films saw The Forge drop from fifth- to seventh-place this weekend. The film took in $4.6 million over the weekend to give it a two-week total of $14.3 million. In its ninth weekend of release, the Universal Pictures product Despicable Me 4 crept up a spot to claim eighth-place this weekend with $4.1 million, giving the film a nine-week total of $354.1 million. Sony Pictures Releasing saw Afraid debut in ninth place with $3.7 million this weekend. Finally, Inside Out 2 held steady in tenth place this weekend where it added $2.8 million, giving the Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures release a twelve-week total of $650 million.

Two films from last weekend’s top ten were forced out this weekend as both the seventh- and eighth-place films couldn’t crack to this weekend’s list. After three weeks in release, the Fathom Events fifteenth anniversary showings of Coraline managed to generate a total of $28.9 million. Meanwhile, after only two weeks in release, the Lionsgate Films remake of The Crow could only scare up a total of $8.1 million.
