Box-Office Weekend: The Toys are Back on Top…Again!
For the second week in a row, Disney/Pixar’s Toy Story 4 finished on top of the weekend box office. This week, the film took in $57.9 million. Although this was just shy of half of what the film pulled in last week, it was still good enough to finish over $37 million ahead of the next highest total in this week’s countdown. The strong showing gives the film a two-week total of $236.9 million and incidentally has proven to be a hit with critics and audiences alike.
In second place is the horror sequel Annabelle Comes Home, which debuted with $20.4 million over the weekend and a $31.2 million opening. Just behind that is the Beatles-inspired fable Yesterday which also debuted this weekend with a decent showing of $17 million.
Meanwhile, Aladdin fell one spot to fourth, adding $9.3 million over the weekend to give the live-action version of the beloved animated film a six-week total of $305.6 million. Elsewhere, the animated sequel, The Secret Life of Pets 2, wrapped up its fourth week in release with a weekend tally of $7.1 million, to land it in the fifth spot of this week’s top ten, and a grand total of $131.2 million. Men in Black: International took a similar tumble to the sixth spot in this week’s top ten after finishing in fourth last week. The film added $6.6 million over the weekend to giving the studio what must be a disappointing three-week total of $65 million.
Disney expanded Avengers: Endgame this weekend again, which lifted the film to a $5.5 million showing, and a seventh-place finish. This gives the Marvel juggernaut a ten-week total of $841.3 million and a worldwide tally of $2.76 billion, making it second only to Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($936.6 million) domestically, and Avatar ($2.78 billion) worldwide.
The horror sequel/remake Child’s Play dropped from last week’s second-place finish to a less-than-impressive eighth place this week taking in $4.3 million to give it a two-week total of $23.4 million. Similarly, Rocketman fell back to Earth and finished in the ninth spot with $3.9 million, to give the Elton John biography a five-week total of $84.2 million.
Finally, the third film in the John Wick series, John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum fell three spots to finish in the final spot in this week’s top ten with $3.2 million over the weekend. This gives the Keanu Reeves-led sequel a grand total of $161.3 million over its seven-week run.
Next week’s release of Spider-Man: Far from Home from Sony and Columbia will undoubtedly unseat one of this week’s top ten finishers and could shake up the final weekend box-office even further.
