Welcome back one and all to the weekly box office report! As is always the case, each and every Sunday you can expect a look at what made the most money in theaters, as well as just how all of the new releases fared. This week, we have a small group of of new releases opening, including Brahms: The Boy II, The Call of the Wild, and Impractical Jokers: The Movie, each battling it out with the second weekend of surprise hit Sonic the Hedgehog. How did they all do? Read on to see how the weekend turned out… Top honors this week went to Sonic the Hedgehog, retaining the crown with a $26.3 million haul. As said last time around, this is a real big hit for Paramount, already beyond $100 million domestically, so look for a sequel in a few years. Without question, we have a new franchise on our hands. Number two was The Call of the Wild, making $24.8 million and just missing top honors. This was a better than expected start for the former Twentieth Century Fox release, which is subsequently being put out by Disney as Twentieth Century Pictures. Families had multiple options this weekend, so the fact that they split like this between the top two titles is pretty interesting… Brahms: The Boy II managed a fourth place finish, taking in $5.9 million. A sequel that I’m not sure anyone was particularly asking for, the middling box office cume suggests that audiences more or less felt the same way. Surprising many, Impractical Jokers: The Movie nearly cracked the top ten this weekend. Eleventh place meant over $2.6 million from 357 screens. Look for the theater count to jump over the next few weeks, as the comedy hopes to continue to surprise. Opening in limited release, Emma. (the latest adaptation of the classic story) took in $230K from five screens, while Seberg translated a little more than $60K on a trio of screens… Here now is what the (estimated) top ten looked like at the box office for this weekend: 1. Sonic the Hedgehog – $26,300,000 2. The Call of the Wild – $24,820,000 3. Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) – $7,005,000 4. Brahms: The Boy II – $5,900,000 5. Bad Boys for Life – $5,860,000 6. 1917 – $4,400,000 7. Fantasy Island – $4,185,000 8. Parasite – […]
