On a very slow weekend...
Welcome to the Dead Zone. No, Christopher Walken isn’t around having psychic vision – it refers to this quiet period in the American box office release schedules between Thanksgiving and Christmas when the studios largely eschew releasing big films and the charts show little change. Which might explain why The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 is still ruling the top of the charts with $21.6 million this weekend.
The third Hunger Games outing has spent three weeks at the top so far, earning $257.7 million as a US total and more than $300 million internationally. Those Penguins Of Madagascar held on for dear life in second place, taking in $11.1 million for a still-low $49.5 million total to date. One of the beneficiaries of this quiet period was Horrible Bosses 2, which clawed its way up from fifth to third and added $8.6 million. But with $36 million in the bank so far, it still hasn’t made its budget back domestically yet.
Disney’s Big Hero 6 was pushed one place down to fourth, as Baymax and co. earned $8.1 million. That still kept it ahead of Interstellar, which slipped to fifth with $8 million.
Dumb And Dumber To stayed at sixth, goofing off with $4.1 million, while The Theory Of Everything hovered at seventh, adding $2.6 million for a $13.6 million total in more limited release so far. Gone Girl was once more eighth, taking in $1.5 million, while Fox opted to open its new horror pic The Pyramid on a relatively limited number of screens (589, to be exact) with the movie scaring up $1.3 million. Birdman, meanwhile, slipped down one place to 10, with $1.1 million this weekend and $18.9 in total so far.
