In it’s second week at the Box Office, Deadpool is yet again the #1 film in America. It had a 58% drop from it’s first weekend and brought in another $55mil; making it’s total at $235mil here in America. That’s amazing news that it’s now the biggest X-Men franchise film on a budget that’s about a 4th of the usual cost for a superhero film.
The other debuts came from Risen and The Witch. The debuted at 3rd and 4th spots, with $11.8mil and $8.6mil, respectively. Given that they both had pretty small budgets themselves, it’s a bit of a win for the both of them. You can see the rest of the Top Ten below.
1. Deadpool—$55,000,000
2. Kung Fu Panda 3—$12,500,000
3. Risen—$11,800,000
4. The Witch—$8,685,270
5. How To Be Single—$8,220,000
6. Race—$7,275,000
7. Zoolander 2—$5,500,000
8. Star Wars: The Force Awakens—$3,386,000
9. The Revenant—$3,800,000
10. Hail, Ceasar!—$2,635,165
Next weekend, we have the premiere of Eddie the Eagle. The film stars Taron Egerton and Hugh Jackman and is making a lot of waves in the film circuits. It’s getting great reviews and while I don’t think that it will topple Deadpool; I certainly think it will premiere at #2. Find out if I’m right on the next edition of Weekend Roundup.
