weekend box office

The new Avengers had the biggest opening -- domestic AND worldwide -- in movie history.

In one weekend, ‘Black Panther’ has made more money than ‘Thor’ did in its entire run in theaters.

It took a movie about adorable talking dogs and cats to dethrone the movie about the adorable talking fish. The Secret Life of Pets dominated the box office this weekend, making it the third 2016 family movie about chatty animals to make a huge splash. If this concept wasn’t as old as the animation medium itself, we could call this a trend.

‘Think Like a Man,’ the movie inspired by comedian Steve Harvey’s self-help book, has finally done what no movie in the past five weeks could — with $33 million in earnings, it toppled ‘The Hunger Games’ from its spot at the top of the weekend box office charts.

Continuing its quest for world domination, ‘The Hunger Games’ earned another $21.5 million this weekend and marked its fourth straight week atop the box office charts.

The juggernaut known as ‘The Hunger Games’ shows no signs of slowing down — it sold another $33.5 million in tickets to take the top spot at the box office for the third weekend in a row.

‘The Hunger Games’ once again treated the competition like dots in a Pac-Man game, swallowing them all without a trace. It earned $61.1 million and took the top spot at the weekend box office for the second week in a row.

You could say ‘The Hunger Games’ did well in its debut, but that would be a vast understatement — with $155 million in revenues, the film adaptation of the best-selling novel left the other movies in the dust and moved easily to the top of the charts this weekend.
