While Texas is suffering the worst flooding in years, the theatrical box office saw the biggest drought since 2001. The week’s Top 12 yielded a combined total of $49 million. These terrible numbers accurately represent the quality of the majority of recent movies. I sure hope the suits in Hollywood are taking note.

After a 53% decline from its opening, ‘The Hitman’s Bodyguard<\/strong>‘ managed to retain the top spot. With a $10 million second week, this victory isn’t exactly something the studios should pat themselves on the back for. After ten days, the miserable $30 million buddy comedy has made $39.6 million domestically and still hasn’t opened overseas.<\/p>\n Also falling 53%, three-week-old ‘Annabelle: Creation<\/strong>‘ finished in second place with $7.3 million. So far, the little $15 million horror flick has conjured $77.8 million in domestic ticket sales. Its overseas box office is even more impressive. Internationally, ‘Creation’ has grossed $137.2 million, bringing its worldwide total up to $215 million.<\/p>\n The Weinstein Company’s animated kids’ movie ‘Leap!<\/strong>‘ isn’t the record-setting disaster that I expected \u2013 but it’s still a domestic flop. From 2,575 locations, the movie pulled just $5 million, a #3 opening and a per-screen average of $1,948. After a year of playing overseas, the $30 million French-Canadian acquisition title has $58.1 million at the international box office and $63.2 million worldwide.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Weinstein’s more deserving ‘Wind River<\/strong>‘ expanded to 2,095 locations and managed a #4 finish. The $4.4 million brings its domestic earnings up to $9.8 million. The $11 million Oscar-worthy film has yet to open overseas.<\/p>\n In its second week, ‘Logan Lucky<\/strong>‘ rounded out the Top 5. After last week’s underwhelming debut, the heist caper fell 43% in attendance to $4.3 million. The $29 million film has a ten-day total of $15 million. Its international roll-out is slow. To date, it has only earned $1 million overseas.<\/p>\n Presumably taking a beating from this weekend’s pay-per-view boxing event, BH Tilt’s ‘Birth of the Dragon<\/strong>‘ debuted at #8 with $2.5 million. Taking into account its wide 1,618-screen release, the bio-pic scored a weak $1,546 per-screen average. Although not a record-setting low, it’s still very<\/em> low for an opening of that scale.<\/p>\n The debut of Sony’s faith-based drama ‘All Saints<\/strong>‘ was also underwhelming, but given its micro budget, not a total disaster. From 846 locations, the $2 million movie collected $1.5 million and an opening in the #15 spot.<\/p>\n The AMC-exclusive reissue of ‘Terminator 2: Judgment Day<\/strong>‘ in 3D was a bust. Playing at 386 locations, it made only $582,300 \u2013 just enough to land it in the #25 spot with a $1,509 per-screen average.<\/p>\n 1. ‘The Hitman’s Bodyguard’ (Lionsgate) – $10,050,000<\/p>\n 2. ‘Annabelle: Creation’ (Warner Bros.) – $7,350,000<\/p>\n 3. ‘Leap!’ (Weinstein) – $5,015,500<\/p>\n 4. ‘Wind River’ (Weinstein) – $4,410,610<\/p>\n 5. ‘Logan Lucky’ (Bleecker Street) – $4,366,894<\/p>\n 6. ‘Dunkirk’ (Warner Bros.) – $3,950,000<\/p>\n 7. ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ (Sony) – $2,725,000<\/p>\n 8. ‘Birth of a Dragon’ (BH Tilt) – $2,501,100<\/p>\n 9. ‘The Emoji Movie’ (Sony) – $2,350,000<\/p>\n 10. ‘Girls Trip’ (Universal) – $2,266,745<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" While Texas is suffering the worst flooding in years, the theatrical box office saw the biggest drought since 2001.
