Without any big new movies in wide release, the weekend’s box office Top 5 remains unchanged. Most titles held over well, but the real news came from the new limited releases. The numbers for two of the three are so good that their expansions will happen sooner than later.
\n<\/p>\n
Pixar’s latest is still the #1 movie in North America. Despite a lack of competition, ‘Coco<\/strong>‘ dropped 49% over its second week, bringing in $26.1 million. The film’s 12-day domestic total is up to $108.6 million. As its international expansion continues, ‘Coco’ keeps strumming up the money overseas. To date, it has earned $171.3 million overseas, giving the $175-$200 million animated musical a $279.9 million worldwide total.<\/p>\n Over its third week, ‘Justice League<\/strong>‘ remained in second place, but Warner’s reworked-in-post-production blockbuster isn’t very healthy. With an absence of new releases, it should have fared better, but instead dropped 60% in attendance. The $16.5 million weekend brings its domestic 17-day gross to $197.3 million. While U.S. audiences may not be opting to see it, the foreign box office is still looking good. The $300 million tentpole has made $370.1 million internationally, for a $567.4 million worldwide total. If the numbers keep climbing, perhaps that petition to get Zack Snyder’s director’s cut<\/a> (which is up to 150,000 signatures) will actually happen.<\/p>\n ‘Wonder<\/strong>‘ held over superbly during its second week, but took a typical hit in its third. Dipping 45%, it still managed to gross another $12.5 million for a third-place finish. To date, the tiny movie has made $88 million domestically. With $12 million in international ticket sales, its worldwide total crossed the $100 million mark.<\/p>\n ‘Thor: Ragnarok<\/strong>‘ pulled another $9.6 million and remained at #4. The sequel’s domestic numbers are up to $291.4 million, showing that it should cross the $300 million mark by this same time next weekend. With $525 in international sales, its global box office is up to $816.4 million.<\/p>\n With $7.5 million, ‘Daddy’s Home 2<\/strong>‘ once again rounded out the Top 5. The $69 million comedy has collected $82.8 million domestically and $34 million overseas, bringing its worldwide total to $116.8 million. No matter how well it plays over the next few weeks, the movie won’t come close to hitting the $242.8 million made by the original.<\/p>\n Now let’s get to the good stuff.<\/p>\n Although it only played on 19 screens, ‘The Disaster Artist<\/strong>‘ nearly cracked the Top 10. Bringing in $1.2 million, A24’s next big hit of the year landed in the #12 spot with a great per-screen average of $64,254. This Friday’s expansion will bring it to an estimated 800 screens.<\/p>\n From two locations, Guillermo del Toro’s ‘The Shape of Water<\/strong>‘ played even better. The film’s $166,800 total resulted in a stellar $83,400 per-screen average. Fox Searchlight will gradually expand the grown-up fairy tale between now and Christmas Day.<\/p>\n Woody Allen’s ‘Wonder Wheel<\/strong>‘ played well from five locations. It earned $140,555 and a per-screen average of $28,111. It’s also slated to expand over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n The weekend estimates for the ‘Beauty and the Beast’ and ‘Dunkirk’ re-releases have yet to be announced, but the ‘Titanic<\/strong>‘ re-release pulled in nearly half of a million dollars this weekend. From 87 theaters, it made $415,000 and a $4,770 per-screen average, which is better than nine of those listed in the Top 10.<\/p>\n 1. ‘Coco’ (Buena Vista) – $26,114,000<\/p>\n 2. ‘Justice League’ (Warner Bros.) – $16,580,000<\/p>\n 3. ‘Wonder’ (Lionsgate) – $12,500,000<\/p>\n 4. ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ (Buena Vista) – $9,659,000<\/p>\n 5. ‘Daddy’s Home 2’ (Paramount) – $7,500,000<\/p>\n 6. ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ (Fox) – $6,700,000<\/p>\n 7. ‘Lady Bird’ (A24) – $4,543,990<\/p>\n 8. ‘Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri’ (Fox Searchlight) – $4,530,000<\/p>\n 9. ‘The Star’ (Sony) – $4,000,000<\/p>\n 10. ‘A Bad Moms Christmas’ (STX) – $3,480,000<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Without any big new movies in wide release, the weekend’s box office Top 5 remains unchanged.
