M. Night Shyamalan’s Glass
remained in first place, taking $18.8 million and a 53.2% drop from
the prior weekend, a strong hold from the prior weekend, considering
the limited competition that entered theaters, neither of which fared
as well.
Neil Burger’s remake, The Upside
continued its winning streak with a second place win for $11.9
million in box office receipts, a 20.4% fall from in its third frame.
The STX film is holding well with a $62 million total gross on a
$37.5 million budget.
Aquaman is nearing the end of
its run with a third place hold from last weekend, taking a
respectable $7.2 million in receipts as it starts shedding screens.
The first of two major releases this
past weekend was Fox’s The Kid Who Would be King, a
retelling of The Sword and the Stone. The film, which was well
reviewed missed its target audience earning $7.1 million on 3,521
screens for a paltry $2037 per screen average.
In its seventh frame, Sony’s
Spider-Man:
Into The Spider-Verse maintained its fifth position from last
weekend, taking in $6.1 million, a 19.3% falloff from the prior
weekend.
Universal’s Green Book, which
ended up in 14th place last weekend surged to 6th
place on the heels of its accolades from the PGA, taking in $5.4
million with a 153.6% increase in gross while it added an additional
1518 screens.
A Dog’s Way Home dropped one
place from last weekend in to seventh, taking $5.1 million while the
former seventh placeholder, Escape Room fell two spots to
ninth place with $4.1 million in its fourth frame.
Serenity
from Aviron was the other major opener on 2,561 screens. The
frustrating and unintentionally funny noir opened with a poor $4.4
million in box office receipts.
Rounding out the top 10 is Disney’s
Mary Poppins Returns falling two slots with $3.3 million in
its sixth frame as it also starts shedding screens.
The only major release for the weekend
of February 1 is Sony Pictures’ Miss Bala a remake of the
2011 movie with the same name. This release features Gina Rodriguez,
Anthony Mackie, Matt Lauria, Aislinn Derbez, Ismael Cruz, Cristina
Roodlo and Ricardo Abarca; the film is directed by Catherine
Hardwicke but we don’t expect it to dethrone either Glass or
The Upside.
Here’s the trailer.
