Yeah sorry about skipping last week I legitimately forgot it was Thanksgiving week and their was a lot of preparations to do so sorry. THIS WEEK is the official reboot for the blog.
Last week was a week of "good enough" unless you were Victor Frankenstein than in that case you couldn't have bombed harder if you were an atomic bomb which in it's first weekend had landed outside of the top ten in the number twelve slot. Anyway who cares about Victor Frankenstein (because apparently a lot of people didn't) here is the weekend's top ten.
Top 10
1.) The Hunger Games Mockingjay part 2- $52 million
2.) The Good dinosaur- $ 55 million
3.) Creed- $42 million
4.) Spectre- $ 12 million
5.) The Peanuts movie- $ 9 million
6.) The night before- $ 8 million
7.) The secret in their eyes- $4.42 million
8.)Spotlight- $4.4 million
9) Brooklyn- $3.9
10.) The Martian- $3.2 million
No real surprises except for maybe The Good Dinosaur which opened at number two and with only $55 million despite a five day weekend and coming off the back burner of Inside out although it did have a poor marketing and only really "good enough reviews." This especially not that great when compared to Inside out, Frozen, and Big Hero six other Disney/Pixar movies which did much better critically and commercially. The movie had a $200 million dollar budget (the other movies mentioned had cheaper budgets than this) and while it will make it's money back it definitely did lower than they expected.
Mockingjay while it did make the number one again this week it's still lagging behind in terms of what it was originally projected at and the numbers it's predecessors have done. Whether it's because of the splitting the movie into two parts, people not generally liking the last movie, franchise fatigue or the Mockingjay book itself.
Anyway that's what I've got to say on the weekend box office and other than that see you Wednesday for the Prediction for this weekend (hopefully.)
