Welcome to WEEKEND ROUNDUP, formerly BOX OFFICE BREAKDOWN, where we discuss this weekends box office results. The TOP 3 films for the weekend of December 25-27 were Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Daddy's Home, and Joy.
Let's take a look at this week's box office results:
WHAT STANDS OUT?
Star Wars: The Force Awakens making almost $150 million on its second weekend is very impressive, but what's more impressive is the fact that it managed to cross the $1 billion mark so fast. Also, seeing The Hateful Eight grab the #10 spot with $4.6 million and only being played in 100 theaters is a definite sign that this film is on its way to making some serious bank.
THE TOP 3:
1. STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS
Taking the record for the largest second weekend of all-time, Star Wars: The Force Awakens brought in another $149.2 million, dropping a mere 39.8%, for a domestic total of $540.1 million and an impressive 13-day, worldwide total of $1.16 billion, putting it in the 10th spot at the worldwide box office. If it continues at this pace, it'll definitely have a shot at dethroning the worldwide box office record holder, Avatar.
2. DADDY'S HOME
Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell's latest team-up, Daddy's Home, managed an impressive opening weekend on the coat tails of Star Wars, bringing in $38.7 million. Combined with its foreign grosses, it brought in a worldwide total of $43.1 million.
3. JOY
The newest collaboration between David O'Russell, Jennifer Lawrence, and Bradley Cooper had a tougher time standing up to the competition, bringing in only $17 million domestically and $19 million worldwide on a $60 million production budget. Needless to say, the force was NOT strong with this one.
TOP 10 RUNDOWN:
#1 - Star Wars: The Force Awakens - $149,202,860
#2 - Daddy's Home - $38,740,203
