This Weekend A Close Call Between IT, American Made, & Kingsman 2

 

This past weekend saw the wide release of the Tom Cruise flick American Made and the ‘90s rebooted film, Flatliners.

In the top spot by a narrow margin is IT with $17.3 million. After getting pushed to second place last weekend by Kingsman, it looks to have reclaimed the throne — at least by today’s estimates, which could very well change come tomorrow.

In second place is American Made, the Tom Cruise-starring vehicle that’s been getting great reviews from critics. Sadly, $17 million seems to be a disappointing start for a film that took $50 million to make. It may show the declining appeal of Cruise following the disappointing Mummy remake.

In third place is Kingsman: The Golden Circle also with $17 million (though a little less than American Made). The film dropped 56.4 percent from its first weekend. While it managed to beat its predecessor in its first weekend, as of right now, it’s starting to fall behind in terms of total domestic box office. Apparently the lukewarm word of mouth is starting to show itself.

Flatliners had a disappointing start at fifth place and $6.7 million. It has a rare 0 perecent on Rotten Tomatoes, and while it only cost $19 million to produce, it doesn’t sound like there’s any real good news to pull from this one.
