WEEKEND ROUNDUP: 'The Jungle Book' Stays On Top Yet Again, While Newcomers 'Keanu', 'Mother's Day', and 'Ratchet & Clank' Fail To Perform


Welcome to WEEKEND ROUNDUP, where we discuss this weekends box office results.  The TOP 3 films for the weekend of April 29 - May 1 were The Jungle Book, The Huntsman: Winter's War, and Keanu.

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


WHAT STANDS OUT?

The Jungle Book managed to top the charts again this weekend, while only one of the three new films this week hit the Top 3.  Keanu, Mother's Day, and Ratchet & Clank nabbed the #3, #4, and #7 spots this weekend, none of them breaking $10 million.


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 third weekend, bringing in a very impressive $43.7 million, a drop of only 29% from last weekend.  That puts its domestic total at $253.4 million and its worldwide total at $688.2 million on a $175 million production budget.


2. THE HUNTSMAN: WINTER'S WAR



The Snow White & The Huntsman prequel, The Huntsman: Winter's War, managed to hold on to the #2 spot again this weekend, bringing in another $9.6 million, a drop of 50.5% from its opening.  This brought its domestic total up to $34.2 million and its worldwide total to $132 million on a $115 million production budget.


3. KEANU


The brand new comedy from Key & Peele, Keanu, hit theaters this weekend with a disappointing opening of only $9.5 million.  Hopefully with its production budget only being $15 million, it'll be able to break even or make a profit, but with the Marvel juggernaut, Captain America: Civil War hitting theaters this weekend, it'll have a tougher time keeping an audience.



TOP 10 RUNDOWN:

#1 - The Jungle Book (2016) - $43,714,706

#2 - The Huntsman: Winter's War - $9,619,300

#3 - Keanu - $9,453,224

#4 - Mother's Day - $8,369,184

#5 - Barbershop: The Next Cut - $6,080,496

#6 - Zootopia - $5,328,858

#7 - Ratchet & Clank - $4,869,278

#8 - The Boss - $4,286,820
