‘THE MEG’ GOBBLES BOX OFFICE WITH $44.5M – (08/13/2018)

Shark thriller The Meg devoured the top spot at the box office with $44.5 million, besting forecasts that had the Jason Statham-led film (observers wagered it would bring in less than half that). 

After two weeks in the top slot, Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible — Fallout plunged to second place with $20 million. Overall, the Cruise film has raked in $162 million in three weeks. Disney’s Christopher Robin, starring Ewan McGregor, came in third with $12.4 million, and the horror movie Slender Man landed in fourth with $11.3 million.

Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman, starring John David Washington (Denzel’s son) and Adam Driver, brought in $10.8 million, landing it in fifth place. 

According to ComScore, overall box office is up 8.4 percent year-to-date.

Paramount/Viacom’s sixth iteration of the Mission: Impossible franchise topped the box office for the second weekend in a row. The Tom Cruise-toplined Fallout raked in $35 million, including $14.5 million in IMAX receipts alone. 

That’s a 42.8% drop from its $61.236m debut weekend, the lowest drop of the franchise save Ghost Protocol. Ten days in, Fallout has earned $124.49 million domestically. The Christopher McQuarrie-helmed film has brought in $325 million worldwide. 

Disney’s live-action Winnie the Pooh revival Christopher Robin opened lower-than-expected with $25 million. The Ewan McGregor-topliner is one of the few Disney’s ever to open at less than No. 1, though the studio did celebrate one big win this weekend. Black Panther, as of Sunday, became one of just three films to cross the $700 million domestically. 

The Spy Who Dumped Me, starring Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon, opened in third place with $12 million.
