I’ve never seen an episode of Downton Abbey but it seems like I may be in the minority and given that the movie killed at the Box Office this weekend. It was able to best the other newcomers by earning $31 million. Pretty crazy considering it went up against the Brad Pitt-starring film Ad Astra and Sly Stallone‘s final hurrah, Rambo: Last Blood. They were able to both take in $19 million with just a few hundred thousand difference between the two.
Last week’s winner, It: Chapter 2 took on $17.2 million, while Hustlers rounded out the Top 5 by taking in $17 million even. The rest of the Top Ten are below.
1.Downton Abbey$31,000,000
2.Ad Astra$19,210,000
3.Rambo: Last Blood$19,015,000
4.IT: Chapter Two$17,245,000
5.Hustlers$17,000,000
6.The Lion King (2019)$ 2,572,000
7.Good Boys$2,510,000
8.Angel Has Fallen$2,400,000
9.Overcomer$1,500,000
10.Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw $1,460,000
Next weekend, we have the animated film Abominable. It looks OK and I doubt it’ll really mess with things too bad, but find out if I’m right by tuning into the next edition of Weekend Roundup.
