This debut is especially strong when you consider that the film was estimated to open around $40 million. Overseas, the impact was even stronger. In 60 markets, it scored another $60 million, giving the $110 million disaster movie a $113.2 million worldwide debut.<\/p>\n<p>In its third week, the already-successful comedy &#8216;<strong>Pitch Perfect 2<\/strong>&#8216; added another $14.3 million to its run. The $29 million musical now sits with a 17-day domestic total of $147.5 million. As if that wasn&#8217;t good enough, $80 million internationally brings it to a worldwide sitting total of $228.2 million \u2013 over $112 million more than the original &#8216;Pitch Perfect&#8217; pulled in during the lifetime of its global theatrical run.<\/p>\n<p>With a 58% drop in attendance, &#8216;<strong>Tomorrowland<\/strong>&#8216; was quickly dethroned in its second week and pitch-slapped down to the #3 spot. $13.8 million moved its ten-day total up to $63.1 million. The disappointment continued overseas, where the movie now sits with just $70 million. Its 10-day worldwide gross of $133.1 million is nowhere near what&#8217;s needed to make this $190 million picture a success.<\/p>\n<p>Three weeks in, &#8216;<strong>Mad Max: Fury Road<\/strong>&#8216; slipped a mild 44% in attendance and added another $13.6 million to its domestic haul, which now sits at $115.9 million. Internationally, it has drawn in $165 million, giving it a 17-day worldwide run of $280.9 million.<\/p>\n<p>Rounding out the Top 5, once again, was &#8216;<strong>Avengers: Age of Ultron<\/strong>&#8216;. The $10.9 million fifth weekend pushed its domestic total up to $427 million. Globally, it&#8217;s up to $1.32 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron Crowe&#8217;s latest character-driven dramedy, &#8216;<strong>Aloha<\/strong>&#8216;, didn&#8217;t fare so well in its opening weekend. Although it debuted to more than Crowe&#8217;s last picture (the PG-rated &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/bluray.highdefdigest.com\/6493\/we_bought_zoo.html\">We Bought a Zoo<\/a>&#8216;, which opened with $9.3 million), things aren&#8217;t looking good for Sony&#8217;s $37 million production.<\/p>\n<p>Weekend estimates have not yet been released for the notable limited releases &#8216;Results&#8217; or &#8216;Gemma Bovery&#8217;.<\/p>\n<h2>Top 10:<\/h2>\n<p>1. &#8216;San Andreas&#8217; (Warner Bros.) &#8211; $53,215,000<\/p>\n<p>2. &#8216;Pitch Perfect 2&#8217; (Universal) &#8211; $14,381,000<\/p>\n<p>3. &#8216;Tomorrowland&#8217; (Buena Vista) &#8211; $13,803,000<\/p>\n<p>4. &#8216;Mad Max: Fury Road&#8217; (Warner Bros.) &#8211; $13,625,000<\/p>\n<p>5. &#8216;Avengers: Age of Ultron&#8217; (Buena Vista) &#8211; $10,920,000<\/p>\n<p>6. &#8216;Aloha&#8217; (Sony) &#8211; $10,000,000<\/p>\n<p>7. &#8216;Poltergeist&#8217; (Fox) &#8211; $7,800,000<\/p>\n<p>8. &#8216;Far from the Madding Crowd&#8217; (Fox Searchlight) &#8211; $1,420,000<\/p>\n<p>9. &#8216;Hot Pursuit&#8217; (Warner Bros.) &#8211; $1,370,000<\/p>\n<p>10. &#8216;Home&#8217; (Fox) &#8211; $1,150,000<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you smell what The Rock was cooking?
