No surprises this weekend. Warner Bros' monster mayhem flick "Kong: Skull Island" topped the charts and outperformed expectations. Meanwhile, "Logan" and "Get Out" continue to perform very well.
Find out more about the weekend box office after the jump.
"Kong: Skull Island" made a big splash at the box-office, scoring a $61 million opening weekend. It's not as impressive as the $93.1 million debut of the "Godzilla" reboot, but while the 2014 film couldn't keep up the pace and ended up with $200.7 million, "Kong" could improve in the long run. It is already outperforming the radioactive reptile in overseas markets, where the giant ape has brought in $81.6 million. The film earned a "B+" score from CinemaScore's opening night polls, and it currently holds a solid 78% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
In second place the comic book movie "Logan" dropped 57% in its second weekend for a $37.8 million finish. While the drop is considerable, the film has grossed an impressive $152.6 million in just 10 days. The R-rated superhero flick is on its way to becoming the highest grossing Wolverine solo movie.
The Blumhouse horror film "Get Out" is holding steady in third place after a still incredibly low 25% drop. It grossed $21 million over the weekend and has already crossed the $100 million mark. It is now the second highest grossing Jason Blum production, behind M. Night Shyamalan's "Split" ($135.8 million), and if it keeps up this pace it will become the studio's No.1 film. And it only cost $4.5 million to produce.
The faith-based drama "The Shack" finished in fourth place with $10 million, bringing its domestic cume to $32.2 million versus a $20 million budget. The Top 5 is rounded up by "The LEGO Batman Movie" with $7.8 million and a $159 million domestic total.
