Weekend Box Office Report (July 28th - July 30th)
Disclaimer: Every Monday, I will post the top five movies that grossed the most money DOMESTICALLY (in the United States), with some brief thoughts about each film.
1. Dunkirk ($28.13 Million): One of the few movies that remained number one at the weekend box office two weeks in a row, Dunkirk is going strong. While it won't make a billion dollars, it's nice to see that people are going out to see this visionary war film, the latest in a line of spectacular films in Nolan's filmography.
2. The Emoji Movie ($25.65 Million): This piece of garbage is at number two. Next week, I guarantee you it will be gone. While parents do want to send their kids to movies that will entertain them for a couple hours, they don't want to send their kids to pieces of garbage and this film will sink almost as soon as it emerged from the water.
3. Girls Trip ($20.09 Million): This film is the exact opposite of the Emoji Movie - a film that no one really saw coming but has garnered critical acclaim for being one of the funniest comedies of the year. This weekend has been diverse in terms of the genres with a war film, an animated film, a comic book movie, a comedy, and a spy film. Girls Trip looks to make a good amount of money for the studio in the weeks to come.
4. Atomic Blonde ($18.55 Million): While not doing the best at the ox office, Atomic Blonde is doing well enough, landing a number 4 spot in its opening weekend. While not quite the number that the studio would have wanted, it is a respectable number going up against some other films as summer winds down.
5. Spider-Man: Homecoming ($13.45 Million): While it's making its money, and making a ton of it, the fact that Spider-Man: Homecoming hasn't made over 700 million dollars and locked at number 3 is a little surprising. I believe that this film was everyone's pick to be number one at the box office this summer, and while that may not happen, it still is making a large sum.
