WEEKEND ROUNDUP: 'Deadpool' Kills It Again This Week; 'Risen' And 'TheWitch' Have Strong Openings

       

Welcome to WEEKEND ROUNDUP, where we discuss this weekends box office results.  The TOP 3 films for the weekend of February 19-21 were DeadpoolKung Fu Panda 3, and Risen.

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


WHAT STANDS OUT?

Seeing Deadpool grab over $50 million this weekend was a pleasant sight, as it scores almost $500 million worldwide.  We also saw newcomers Risen and The Witch make it to the Top 5 this week, while Race only managed to hit #6.


THE TOP 3:


1. DEADPOOL



Fox's surprise hit, Deadpool, managed to dominate the box office yet again this weekend, bringing in an impressive $56.5 million.  This puts its domestic total up to $236.9 and its worldwide total up to $493.1 million.  This makes Deadpool not only the #1 X-Men film, but also the #1 R-rated comic book film.


2. KUNG FU PANDA 3


Kung Fu Panda 3 managed to hold onto the #2 spot again this weekend, dropping only 36.6% to bring in $12.5 million.  This puts its domestic total up to $117.1 million and its worldwide total up to $294.2 million.


3. RISEN


The newest faith-based film, Risen, hit theaters this weekend with a strong opening of $11.8 million.  Combined with its very small foreign grosses, it managed a worldwide total of $11.97 million and should have a decently strong showing through March.
