After three weeks on top of the box-office weekend, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie was unseated by the new release Michael which took hold of the top spot by a margin of $75.8 million.
During its first weekend in release, the Michael Jackson biopic Michael made $97.0 million and the Lionsgate release easily assumed control of the box-office weekend top ten. Last weekend’s top film, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie finished in a distant second place behind that with $21.2 million over the weekend. This gives the Universal Pictures product a four-week total of $386.5 million. Meanwhile, Amazon MGM Studios saw its Project Hail Mary drop to third place where it made $13.2 million for the studio, bringing the film’s six-week total to $305.4 million. Similarly, Warner Bros. saw its Lee Cronin’s The Mummy fall from third to fourth where it added $5.6 million over the weekend, giving it a two-week total of $23.5 million. Also, losing a spot over the weekend was A24’s The Drama, which finished in fifth place with $2.6 million; bringing the film’s four-week total to $44.8 million.
Holding steady in sixth-place, Hoppers added $1.9 million over the weekend to give the Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures release an eight-week total of $164.2 million. Falling two spots, to claim seventh place over the weekend, You, Me & Tuscany made $1.5 million for Universal Pictures, giving the film a three-week total of $17.6 million. The final three spots of this weekend’s top ten were claimed by newcomers as IFC Films saw its Over Your Dead Body land in eighth place with $1.4 million; while A24’s Mother Mary staked a claim on ninth place with $1.3 million in its second week of release (giving the film an overall total of $1.5 million); and American Youngboy debuted in the final spot of the top ten with $1.2 million earned over the weekend.
The four films at the bottom of last weekend’s top ten all dropped from this week’s list. Following just one week in release, Normal couldn’t hold onto its seventh-place finish last week and instead left the top ten with a one-week total of $2.6 million. After bringing in $1.8 million last weekend with an eighth-place finish, BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’ in JAPAN: LIVE VIEWING dropped from this weekend’s list. With a one-week total of $1.7 million, Busboys also dropped from the top ten after claiming ninth place a week ago. Finally, after claiming tenth place last weekend with $1.0 million, Bhooth Bangla also dropped from this weekend’s list.
