Weekend Box Office Report (June 8th - June 10th)

Weekend Box Office Report (June 8th - June 10th)

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. Ocean's Eight ($41.61 Million): Say what you will about the necessity of this film (or many others this summer for that matter), but Ocean's Eight has come out and made well over the expected mark at 41 million dollars. This puts it as the highest opening weekend mark for any Oceans film, and opens the door for more capers with the characters introduced in this film. 

2. Solo: A Star Wars Story ($15.75 Million): While, yes, Solo: A Star Wars Story did manage to stay in the top 2 spots, it took another dip. Reports are saying that Solo may not even hit 200 million dollars domestically, which is lower than Avengers: Infinity War's opening weekend, domestically. Needless to say, unless this film has a massive run (which it will not), Solo is officially a bomb. 

3. Deadpool 2 ($14.15 Million): Yet again nearly catching the latest Star Wars film, Deadpool 2 continues to chug along. While it has heavy competition, much more than it had for the first film which was released in February, Deadpool 2 is making good money for Fox, and will open the door to the X-Force film that they've been talking about. 

4. Hereditary ($13.56 Million): The newest film by A24 has been met with critical acclaim. As such, it is rewarded by making a cool 13.5 million at the box office, nearly catching both Deadpool and Han Solo for the 2 and 3 spots, which is impressive. This could be a case of long legs, or perhaps it may not be, we'll just have to wait and see, but regardless, this is a win for A24. 

5. Avengers: Infinity War ($7.24 Million): The behemoth that refuses to leave, Avengers: Infinity War may yet be here next week, depending on how much Solo drops. But chances are that the Incredibles 2 will knock Infinity War out of the top spot. That, however, doesn't overshadow the fact that this film is just barely under 2 billion and will, without a doubt, hit the 2 billion mark this week.
