WEEKEND ROUNDUP: 'Star Trek Beyond' Soars To The Top Of This Weekend's Box Office


Welcome to WEEKEND ROUNDUP, where we discuss this weekends box office results.  The TOP 3 films for the weekend of July 22-24 were Star Trek Beyond, The Secret Life of Pets, and Lights Out.

Let's take a look at this week's box office results:


WHAT STANDS OUT?

It's no surprise that the new Star Trek film took the top spot this week, but seeing Ice Age: Collision Course fail to hit the Top 3 is definitely a sign that this franchise is on its last legs.  Ghostbusters managed to stay in the Top 5 this week with $21 million, putting its worldwide total at $122 million, proving that perhaps this film will do just well enough to warrant the planned sequel.


THE TOP 3:


1. STAR TREK BEYOND


The latest installment in the rebooted Star Trek series hit theaters this weekend, bringing in $59.3 million.  Combined with the $30 million in foreign grosses, Star Trek Beyond managed a worldwide total of $89.3 million on a $185 million production budget.


2. THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS


The newest animated film from the makers of Despicable MeThe Secret Life of Pets, managed to bring in another $29.6 million this weekend, a drop of only 41.8%.  This puts its domestic total at $261 million, with a worldwide total of $324.2 million on a $75 million production budget.  


3. LIGHTS OUT


The newest horror film from producer James Wan, Lights Out, hit theaters this weekend with an impressive $21.7 million.  Combined with the foreign grosses, it managed a worldwide total of $30.2 million on a very small $4.9 million production budget.
