Tyler Perry’s latest eponymously titled film, Tyler Perry’s Boo 2! A Madea Halloween topped the box office weekend with $21.7 million during its first few days in theaters. This opening also marks the seventh “Madea” film to open over $20 million.
Elsewhere, Only the Brave debuted to decent reviews and a $6 million opening weekend. It remains to be seen whether word of mouth can give the film a firm hold on a spot in the top ten moving forward. Jackie Chan’s return to multiplexes, The Foreigner, managed $5.5 million in its second week of release, bring its two-week total to $22.8 million. This was good enough to movie it past It, which feel to seventh place in its seventh week of release with $3.5 million, bringing its domestic total to date to an impressive $320.2 million.
The other high-profile debut this week, The Snowman, delivered a paltry $3.4 million in its first week of release that doesn’t bode well for the film’s staying power given the dismal reviews its garnered so far. Closing out the top ten this week are the Tom Cruise-led American Made with $3.2 million (and a four-week total of $45.5 million) and Kingsman: The Golden Circle with $3.0 million (and a five-week total of $94.6 million). One can be considered a hit and one, not so much.
