Box Office Highs and Downers
Who took home the number one spot, and who need a session to get those numbers higher.
The top spot for this weekend was really only going to be either the current king of the box office Black Panther or the newcomer blockbuster from WB Tomb Raider, but who would come out on top.Top 5
The Top five domestic earnings of the weekend are:1. Black Panther - 27 Mil
2. Tomb Raider - 23.5 Mil
3. I Can Only Imagine - 17 Mil
4. Wrinkle in Time - 16.5 Mil
5. Love, Simone - 11.5
Highs
Black Panther is still owning the box office after crossing the 1 billion mark last week and after being released over a month ago. Now if that ain't some legs I don't know what is. It looks like Marvel just gonna take all our money this year.
I Can Only Imagine more than doubled its budget making a cool 17 mil at the box office in its first weekend. This comes at no surprise as faith-based movies typically get huge support from their base audience. Not my cup of tea, but good for the movie to make that much money do what you do best.
Downers
Although Tomb Raider did make 23 mil this weekend, it has to be a downer that it couldn't pass Black Panther for the number one spot. They were hoping for a big splash at the box office with its new rebooted franchise and coming in second doesn't make waves at all. Maybe that sequel that they want to make so bad will do better.
Gringo should also feel bad after falling 80% from its opening weekend, while still being in a good number of theaters. hey, you make a movie about a weed pill and barely mention it, you deserve to drop to me.
