So it seems that Christopher Nolan has another hit on his hands in the form of his newest film Dunkirk. The film has been critically lauded as one of the best WWII movies of all time and it looks like audiences are agreeing. At least for the time being. The film brought in $50.5 million and it was enough to solidify the top spot. It’ll need to keep up those numbers though, to justify it’s $150 million budget and make a profit.
On the other side of things, Girls Trip was a huge winner even though it came in at #2. The movie cost practically nothing and took in $30.4 million. Can somebody say sequel? It won’t shock me if it’s already being written now. The rest of the Top Ten, including the failure of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, is below.
1. Dunkirk $50.5 million
2. Girls Trip $30.4 million
3. Spider-Man: Homecoming $22 million
4. War for the Planet of the Apes $20.4 million
5. Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets $17 million
6. Despicable Me 3 $12.7 million
7. Baby Driver $6 million
8. The Big Sick $5 million
9. Wonder Woman $4.6 million
10. Wish Upon $2.5 million
Next weekend, Atomic Blonde and The Emoji Movie open up. I’d hate to say that my money is on the latter but we’re in need of another animated children’s movie that doesn’t feature minions. Only the next edition of Weekend Roundup will confirm if I’m right!
