This weekend saw two wide releases in the form of the Jennifer Lawrence-starring erotic spy thriller Red Sparrow and the Eli Roth-helmed, Bruce Willis-starring Death Wish. But, of course, as expected, neither took much away from Black Panther.

Black Panther came out on top on this one for the third weekend in a row, taking in $65.7M. While this is about $10M short from more recent projections, it’s still an admirable 41.2 percent drop from its second weekend. So far, the movie is encroaching on $900M, all but guaranteeing that it’ll be hitting $1B next weekend at the latest. And while this is the third weekend, enthusiasm still seems to be there for this movie, and I’m sure Marvel couldn’t be happier.

In second place, Red Sparrow comes in with an admirable $17M. Given its $69M budget, it isn’t too promising of a start, but considering just how hard of an R this movie is, and how dark it is, I get the impression it’s about as good as you could expect. Though while this does seem disappointing from my perspective, this is in line with studio projections. However, with its B CinemaScore, I’m not sure too many audiences are raving to their friends about this.

In third place, we have Death Wish, the remake of the Charles Bronson classic, only this time starring Bruce Willis. The Eli Roth film took in 13M in its opening weekend. The movie has a budget of $30M, and if we compare it to The Foreigner, it seems in line to make about as much domestically (though worldwide gross is harder to predict). In short, it doesn’t look like this’ll be a big moneymaker for MGM.
