Weekend Box-Office: A QUIET PLACE Reclaims Top Spot

weekend-box-office-a-quiet-place-reclaims-top-spot

With the Dwayne Johnson blockbuster "Rampage" winding down in its second weekend, the horror film "A Quiet Place" reclaimed the top spot at the box-office, even though it was a pretty tight race. Meanwhile new arrival "Super Troopers 2" surprised everyone, and Amy Schumer's comedy "I Feel Pretty" managed a decent debut.

Find out more about the weekend box office after the jump.



"A Quiet One" is back as the #1 film in its third weekend at the box-office. The film grossed $22 million over the weekend and its domestic total has reached $132.3 million. Overseas the film has raked in $74.8 million.

The big budget monster movie "Rampage" dropped to second place with $21 million after a 41% drop. The film has grossed $66.6 million domestically after 10 days, but it's faring much better overseas, where it has brought in $216.4 million. China is the film's biggest market with over $100 million grossed so far.

The first of the new wide releases, the comedy "I Feel Pretty" starring  Amy Schumer, opened in third place with $16.2 million, which is so far the comedienne's lowest opening, behind "Snatched" ($19.5 million) and "Trainwreck" ($30 million). The film has a reported budget of $32 million. It received mixed-to-negative reviews (34% on Rotten Tomatoes and 47 on Metacritic), while CinemaScore reports a "B+" grade from its opening night polls.

At #4 we have another new release, the R-rated comedy sequel "Super Troopers 2" , which performed surprisingly well with $14.7 million from just 2,038 theaters against a $13.5 million budget. To make it clear just how great this performance is, let's compare it to the $18.4 million grossed by the first film in its entire 11-weeks theatrical run in 2002. Even adjusted for inflation, the original grossed $29.2 million, which the sequel will probably have no trouble matching and surpassing. "Super Troopers 2" received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics (35% on Rotten Tomatoes and 41 on Metacritic), but a decent "B+" from CinemaScore.

The Top 5 is rounded up by the Blumhouse horror film "Truth or Dare" which dropped a steep 57% and grossed $7.9 million over the weekend. Its domestic total now stands at $30.3 million after 10 days against a $3.5 million production budget.

The last of the new wide releases, the thriller "Traffik" starring Paula Patton opened in ninth place with $3.8 million, which almost matched its $4 million production budget. The film received a negative reception from critics (24% on Rotten Tomatoes and 39 on Metacritic).

In other news, Steven Spielberg's "Ready Player One", currently ranking sixth for the weekend with $7.5 million, has managed to cross $500 million worldwide.
