For a second consecutive weekend, "Split" dominated the box-office and held back newcomers that included the canine dramedy "A Dog's Purpose" and the sequel "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter".
Find out more about the weekend box office after the jump.
"Split" continues its impressive performance, dropping only 34% in its second weekend and earning $26.2 million. The film has now reached a domestic total of $77.9 million, to which it adds another $23.7 million from overseas markets. That's amazing considering the film's $9 million budget and a great comeback for writer/director M. Night Shyamalan.
In second place we have newcomer "A Dog's Purpose", which opened with $18.3 million, a solid result considering the film was plagued by controvery in the week before its release. Even though the critics didn't like it (33% on Rotten Tomatoes), it managed to find an audience, as CinemaScore gave it an "A". The film's production budget is estimated at $22 million, so the film should turn a profit very soon.
Screen Gem's action horror sequel "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" finished its opening weekend run in fourth place with $13.8 million, the weakest debut in the entire six-film franchise. It was run over by "Hidden Figures", which narrowly secured a third place position by a margin of only $0.2 million and crossed the $100 million milestone.
"Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" scored a much healthier $64.5 million internationally, and it only cost $40 million to produce, so it's a sure thing that they're going to get some profit out of it. Also, the franchise has crossed the $1 billion mark worldwide for all six films. "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" received surprisingly mixed reviews from critcs (41% on Rotten Tomatoes) who usually hate this kind of movie with a passion, and also received a decent "B" from CinemaScore.
The Top 5 is rounded up by "La La Land", which expanded further as the film received 14 Oscar nominations. It grossed $12 million over the weekend and has brought in $106.5 million domestically and another $117 million internationally.
Unfortunately, Matthew McConaughey's new film "Gold", which boasts a career-best performance from the actor, barely made it into the Top 10. It finished in tenth place with $3.47 million from 2,166 theaters. The film received mixed to negative reviews from critics (38% on Rotten Tomatoes) and a discouraging "B-" on CinemaScore.
New Wide Releases: "A Dog's Purpose", "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter", "Gold".
Biggest Drop : "xXx: Return of Xander Cage" (-59%)
