Weekend Box Office Report (August 3rd - August 5th)

Weekend Box Office Report (August 3rd - August 5th)

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. Mission: Impossible - Fallout ($35.00 Million): Looking to build off the success of the last weekend as well as the huge critical reception, Mission: Impossible - Fallout has deservedly taken the number one spot again. Since there is relatively little competition in the coming weeks, it looks to hold onto the spot for the majority of August, and at least stay in the top five throughout the rest of September. 

2. Disney's Christopher Robin ($25.00 Million): While the film didn't receive high critical praise, Disney's Christopher Robin still made a decent 25 million at the domestic box office this past weekend. The family oriented film provided a good counter to all the other programming that was going on, which may entice families to come in the coming weeks as well. Look for this film to make a decent amount of money, maybe 100-200 million at the box office. 

3. The Spy Who Dumped Me ($12.35 Million): The Kate McKinnon and Mila Kunis led comedy slotted in nicely in the number three spot. It didn't make much, but it was more than many had anticipated. While this film will soon fade, it looks to capitalize on the hard-R comedy audience while it still can. 

4. Mama Mia! Here We Go Again ($9.09 Million): Speaking of counter-programming, this musical sequel took the number 4 spot taking in another 9 million. It will quickly fade, but not before it has made its mark on the domestic box office.

5. The Equalizer 2 ($8.83 Million): And finally, the Denzel-led action thriller squeaks into the number five spot, barely missing 9 million. Look for this film to make another 20 million total at the domestic box office before concluding its run.
