The Stephen King adaptation "It: Chapter Two" topped the weekend charts in its second weekend, but it was STX's real-life crime drama "Hustlers", starring Jennifer Lopez and Constance Wu, that really impressed. Warner Bros' may have a big hit with "It", but they've also scored a major flop with the drama "The Goldfinch", which delivered one of the worst openings ever for a wide release.
Find out more about the weekend box-office after the jump.
"It: Chapter Two" dropped 55% and brought in $40.7 million in its second weekend. IT's a pretty great hold for a horror film, especially when compared to "The Nun"'s 66% decline, but slightly steeper than the first film's 51% drop. The second chapter of the Stephen King saga has so far grossed a total of $153.8 million domestically. Overseas, the horror sequel has raked in another $47 million, which brings its international tally to $169.5 million, and its worldwide cume to $323.3 million. Both "It" films have now grossed over $1.02 billion globally.
In second place we find the surprise hit "Hustlers". Based on a true story and boasting a stellar ensemble cast, the R-rated film has exceeded expectations of a projected $25 million debut and finished the weekend with $33.2 million from 3,250 theaters, against a reported $20 million budget (before marketing). This is the biggest opening for STX, surpassing the indie studio's "Bad Moms" ($23.8 million), and it's also a record-breaking live-action debut for Jennifer Lopez, whose previous all-time high was the $23.1 million opening of "Monster-in-Law" in 2005.
Overseas, "Hustlers" opened with $4.4 million from 15 markets. The film has received glowing reviews from critics (88% on Rotten Tomatoes and 80 on Metacritic), and a lukewarm reception from moviegoers (70% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes and a "B-" grade from CinemaScore's opening night polls).
The Gerard Butler action threequel "Angel Has Fallen" landed in third place with $4.4 million. The film has dropped just 26% and its domestic total has reached $60.3 million. It will soon surpass its predecessor "London Has Fallen" ($62.5 million).
The R-rated comedy "Good Boys" is also holding very well. The film dropped to #4 with $4.2 million, and dropped just 22% this weekend. The film's domestic total has reached $73.3 million, while overseas it added another $1.7 million for an international total of $18.3 million.
The Top 5 is rounded out by Disney's "The Lion King" remake with $3.5 million. The film dropped just 18%, and its domestic tally is now at $533.9 million, making it the 12th largest domestic release of all-time. Its worldwide total currently stands at $1.617 billion.
The other new wide release, Warner Bros' "The Goldfinch" opened with a catastrophic $2.6 million from 2,542 theaters against a $45 million budget, becoming the sixth worst ever performance for a wide release (between 2,500 and 3,000 locations). Overseas it opened in 12 markets with less than $1 million. Based on Donna Tartt's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, the film was shot down by critics (24% on Rotten Tomatoes and 41 on Metacritic), but moviegoers were more forgiving (74% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes and a "B" grade from CinemaScore).
The weekend's best performance belongs to the adventure dramedy "The Peanut Butter Falcon" starring Shia LaBeouf and Dakota Johnson. Finishing in ninth place, the film dropped just 10% this weekend, and raked in $1.9 million from 1,490 theaters, for a domestic total of $15 million after 6 weeks in theaters.
In other news, the "Downton Abbey" movie opened overseas a weekend ahead of the domestic release, and brought in $11.7 million from 17 markets. The U.K. is leading the pack with $6.3 million. Also, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" has reached $329.4 million worldwide, becoming Quentin Tarantino's second highest-grossing film of all time, behind "Django Unchained" ($425 million).
