Over this very congested weekend, Brad Pitt and his tank plowed through the competition to win the top spot at the box office.<\/p>\n
‘Fury<\/strong>‘ landed in first place with a strong $23.5 million debut, making it the fourth-highest-grossing opening of all time for a World War II flick (behind ‘Pearl Harbor’, ‘Inglourious Basterds’ and ‘Saving Private Ryan’). The movie is also expected to do very well as it opens overseas next week.<\/p>\n Although ‘Gone Girl<\/strong>‘ was dethroned in its third weekend, it hasn’t lost any of its luster. Only slipping a very mild 32%, the marital thriller crossed the domestic $100 million mark by adding another $17.8 million to its run. With a 17-day total of $107 million, the film is well on track to become David Fincher’s highest grossing picture.<\/p>\n The Guillermo del Toro-produced ‘The Book of Life<\/strong>‘ opened right on par with many of other recent family titles. Given that the 3D animated picture attempted to capitalize on the proven Mexican-American market, it’s actually a bit surprising that the movie only drew $17 million. While the domestic numbers may not be that impressive, the film’s upcoming international release is expected to be stronger.<\/p>\n Fourth place went to week-old ‘Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day<\/strong>‘. While its opening weekend was a disappointment, the family comedy’s second weekend had a soft 34% drop that resulted in another $12 million. ‘Alexander’ has now made $36.8 million.<\/p>\n Have moviegoers finally realized that Nicholas Sparks is guilty of re-writing the same sappy stories over and over again? It appears that might be the case. ‘The Best of Me<\/strong>‘ opened in fifth place with $10.2 million, a mere fraction of what Sparks’ romance adaptations typically earn. This is the lowest opening ever for a Sparks movie and will be lucky to make $30 million by the end of its domestic theatrical run.<\/p>\n Fox Searchlight’s extremely hyped ‘Birdman<\/strong>‘ had a huge four-screen debut that resulted in $415,000. Its platform release kicks off this coming weekend and the movie should be showing nationwide within the next three or four weeks.<\/p>\n Box office numbers have yet to be released for ‘Camp X-Ray’ or ‘The Town that Dreaded Sundown’.<\/p>\n 1. ‘Fury’ (Sony) – $23,500,000<\/p>\n 2. ‘Gone Girl’ (Fox) – $17,800,000<\/p>\n 3. ‘The Book of Life’ (Fox) – $17,000,000<\/p>\n 4. ‘Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day’ (Buena Vista) – $12,039,000<\/p>\n 5. ‘The Best of Me’ (Relativity) – $10,200,000<\/p>\n 6. ‘Dracula Untold’ (Universal) – $9,889,000<\/p>\n 7. ‘The Judge’ (Warner Bros.) – $7,940,000<\/p>\n 8. ‘Annabelle’ (Warner Bros.) – $7,925,000<\/p>\n 9. ‘The Equalizer’ (Sony) – $5,450,000<\/p>\n 10. ‘The Maze Runner’ (Fox) – $4,500,000<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Over this very congested weekend, Brad Pitt and his tank plowed through the competition to win the top spot at the box office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":65701,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[743],"tags":[7731,7744,7682,7675,178,7681,7680],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65699"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65699"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65699\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":65819,"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65699\/revisions\/65819"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65701"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65699"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65699"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65699"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Top 10:<\/h2>\n
