This past weekend saw the wide release of two films, Tomb Raider, and Love, Simon. It also saw the limited release of the faith-based film, I Can Only Imagine.
In the number one spot is Black Panther, if you can believe it. It holds on to that ranking for its fifth weekend, taking in $27.0M domestically. Its grand total for its worldwide grosses so far is $1.182Bn, making it the fourth highest marvel film to date, behind Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and Iron Man 3. The film has become the second highest grossing Marvel film domestically, trailing only Avengers. Without a doubt, by the time its run is up, its domestic total will beat that of Avengers.
At number two, we have Tomb Raider with $23.5M. It was tracking for $25M, though when all said and done, I’m fairly confident the studio was hoping for better. Though while its domestic cume has been terrible, it’s made $126M worldwide. Will it make enough to justify its $94M budget? We’ll have to wait and see.

At number three is the random I Can Only Imagine, a faith-based film that brought in $17.0M despite its limited theater run. Based on its $7M budget, it’s clear that this one is another success for faith-based films.
