Weekend Box-Office: GLASS Holds at #1 As New Releases Struggle

weekend-box-office-glass-holds-at-top

As the new weekend releases "Serenity" and "The Kid Who Would be King" proved unattractive to moviegoers, last week's #1 film, M. Night Shyamalan's "Glass" is still sitting comfortably at the top of the box-office. "The Upside" is proving to be a huge hit, and "Green Book" gained some traction following a wider expansion and the Oscar nominations.

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






"Glass" is the #1 movie at the box-office for a second consecutive weekend, grossing $19 million after a 53% drop, and its domestic total has reached a very solid $73.5 million. When compared to its small $20 million budget, and adding the $89.1 million it grossed overseas, the film is quite a success.

In second place we find the dramedy "The Upside" which dropped just 18.4% and brought in $12.2 million over the weekend. The film has grossed a total of $63 million domestically after 17 days in theaters against a $37 million budget. Overseas it's not so impressive, however, with only $6.1 million from 38 markets.

The DCEU flick "Aquaman" is also holding in third place with $7.3 million. The film's domestic tally has reached $316.5 million, and it has grossed a total of $1.09 billion worldwide, becoming the largest DC Comics adaptation of all-time globally.

The first new wide release, the fantasy adventure film "The Kid Who Would Be King" opened in fourth place with $7.2 million against a budget of $59 million. It also grossed a total of $3.2 million internationally from 20 markets. The film received generally positive reviews from critics (86% on Rotten Tomatoes and 66 on Metacritic) and an okay reception from audiences ("B" grade from CinemaScore's opening night polls).

The Top 5 is rounded out by Sony's "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" with $6.15 million after dropping just 18.8%, which is simply amazing after a month and a half in theaters. The film has grossed a total of $169 million domestically, and $169.1 million overseas.

The Oscar contender "Green Book" received a boost this weekend after expanding into an additional 1,518 theaters. The film grossed $5.4 million over the weekend and has nearly topped $50 million domestically after 11 weeks in theaters. It also started expanding overseas, and its international cume has reached  $10.3 million from 33 markets.

The last of the new wide releases, the neo-noir thriller "Serenity" starring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway, was unable to attract moviegoers and finished its debut weekend with $4.8 million from 2,561 theaters. The film was ravaged by critics (22% on Rotten Tomatoes and 38 on Metacritic), and moviegoers mostly shared the negativity ("D+" from CinemaScore).
