Not a good weekend for new releases, as audiences continued to ride along with Ride Along. Here’s what went down:
Ride Along managed to hold the top spot at the box office for the third week in a row, grossing $12 million. It’s an unexpected and impressive display of appeal for the comedy. Next weekend should see its reign end, as The Lego Movie heads into theatres.
Find out how the rest of the weekend turned out after the jump!
Coming in second was Frozen with $9.3 million, while new release That Awkward Moment could only muster up $9 million to come in third. That’s definitely a disappointment, and not a good sign for Miles Teller and Michael B. Jordan, both of whom are rumoured to topline Fox’s Fantastic Four reboot. Meanwhile, The Nut Job took fourth place with $7.6 million, while Lone Survivor closed out the top five with $7.1 million.
So, to recap, here were our predictions:
1) That Awkward Moment – $14.5 million
2) Ride Along – $13 million
3) Frozen – $9 million
4) The Nut Job – $7 million
5) Lone Survivor – $5.9 million
And here’s how the weekend turned out:
1) Ride Along – $12 million
2) Frozen – $9.3 million
3) That Awkward Moment – $9 million
4) The Nut Job – $7.6 million
5) Lone Survivor – $7.1 million
