WEEKEND ROUNDUP: 'The Jungle Book' Dominates Yet Again, While 'The Huntsman' Fails To Deliver


Welcome to WEEKEND ROUNDUP, where we discuss this weekends box office results.  The TOP 3 films for the weekend of April 22-24 were The Jungle Book, The Huntsman: Winter's War, and Barbershop: The Next Cut.

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


WHAT STANDS OUT?

The two things that stand out the most are the Top 2 films this week.  The Jungle Book managed to dominate once again with a domestic gross of over $60 million, while The Huntsman: Winter's War failed to pick up steam, pulling in less than $20 million on its opening weekend.


THE TOP 3:


1. THE JUNGLE BOOK (2016)



Jon Favreau's live-action adaptation of the 1967 animated Disney classic, The Jungle Book, managed to dominate the box office yet again in its second weekend, bringing in a very impressive $61.5 million, a drop of only 40.4% from last weekend.  That puts its domestic total at $192.2 million and its worldwide total at $533.5 million on a $175 million production budget.


2. THE HUNTSMAN: WINTER'S WAR



The Snow White & The Huntsman prequel, The Huntsman: Winter's War, hit theaters this weekend, bringing in a disappointing $19.4 million, a significant drop from its predecessor's opening of $56.2 million.  It did, however, do pretty well overseas, bringing in an additional $79.1 million, for a worldwide total of $98.6 million on a hefty $115 million production budget.


3. BARBERSHOP: THE NEXT CUT



Barbershop: The Next Cut is the fourth installment in the Barbershop franchise and the first in over ten years (the last being the 2005 spin-off, Beauty Shop).  The Next Cut came in at a respectable $10.5 million in its second weekend, dropping only 48%.  This put the film at a total of 35.7 million on a $20 million production budget.
