Last week’s reigning champions continued their successful runs. Meanwhile, no amount of pixie dust could save this weekend’s two biggest new movies.<\/p>\n
Ridley Scott’s ‘The Martian<\/strong>‘ dominated the box office for the second consecutive week. Audiences once again turned out in droves, causing the sci-fi survival flick to drop a mere 32% in week-over-week attendance and pull in $37 million. Ten days into its run, ‘The Martian’ has earned back its $108 million production budget. Still only playing in some international markets, the film’s overseas total now sits at $119.1 million, giving it a $227.8 million worldwide total.<\/p>\n Warner Bros. and Joe Wright weren’t thinking enough happy thoughts this weekend. Sony’s family feature ‘Hotel Transylvania 2<\/strong>‘ played strong enough to hold off ‘Pan<\/strong>‘. ‘Transylvania’ added $20.3 million in its third week, bringing its 17-day total up to $116.8 million. Although predictions placed the ‘Pan’ debut in that same area, it fell very short with $15.5 million. Overseas, the Peter Pan prequel opened stronger to $25 million \u2013 but with a production budget of $150 million, this comes as quite a blow for Warner Brothers.<\/p>\n Four place went to three-week-old ‘The Intern<\/strong>‘. With a surprisingly low 26% drop in attendance, the Nancy Meyers film added $8.6 million to its growing $49.5 million domestic run. The slow-and-steady success from the Anne Hathaway\/Robert De Niro vehicle must help ease the ‘Pan’ pain that Warner execs are feeling right now.<\/p>\n Lionsgate’s ‘Sicario<\/strong>‘ rounded out the Top 5 with $7.3 million. The $30 million drug-busting drama has now grossed $26.7 million domestically.<\/p>\n Robert Zemeckis’ ‘The Walk<\/strong>‘ had an ever worse wide opening than the soft IMAX-exclusive debut that it saw last week. From 2,509 locations, the true story high-wire act finished its first nationwide weekend in seventh place with $3.6 million and a terrible $1,455 per-screen average. It now sits with a domestic total of $6.3 million. Luckily, it only cost $35 million to produce \u2013 but it’s still bad news for Sony during this depressing year.<\/p>\n Lionsgate’s Mexican comedy ‘Ladrones<\/strong>‘ had a decent little weekend on 375 screens. Starring a pair of Mexico’s biggest stars, the movie pulled $1.3 million and a $3,560 per-screen average.<\/p>\n ‘99 Homes<\/strong>‘ tried making some noise on 691 screens, but ended up with one of the worst openings of the year. The Michael Shannon\/Andrew Garfield picture only collected $630,857, for a painful per-screen average of $913.<\/p>\n On the opposite end of the spectrum, Danny Boyle’s ‘Steve Jobs<\/strong>‘ saw the best limited per-screen opening this year. From just four locations in New York and L.A., it earned $521,000 and a massive per-screen average of $130,250. The film will expand to 60 screens this Friday, leading up to next Friday’s wide release.<\/p>\n 1. ‘The Martian’ (Fox) – $37,000,000<\/p>\n 2. ‘Hotel Transylvania 2’ (Sony) – $20,300,000<\/p>\n 3. ‘Pan’ (Warner Bros.) – $15,530,000<\/p>\n 4. ‘The Intern’ (Warner Bros.) – $8,660,000<\/p>\n 5. ‘Sicario’ (Lionsgate) – $7,350,000<\/p>\n 6. ‘Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials’ (Fox) – $5,250,000<\/p>\n 7. ‘The Walk’ (TriStar) – $3,650,000<\/p>\n 8. ‘Black Mass’ (Warner Bros.) – $3,130,000<\/p>\n 9. ‘Everest’ (Universal) – $3,030,000<\/p>\n 10. ‘The Visit’ (Universal) – $2,420,000<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last week’s reigning champions continued their successful runs.
