This is the first weekend I can think of in 2019 that didn\u2019t have a wide release, giving us a mostly static Top 10 as we close out the summer season with a four-day Labor Day weekend.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This Week\u2019s Top Earner (For The Second Week In A Row) \u2013 \u2018Angel Has Fallen\u2019<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e1zGMaQ8zNE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you had told me in January that Gerard Butler would be the lead in a blockbuster film staying #1 for two consecutive weeks, I would have assumed I\u2019d gone back in time to 2007. Nevertheless, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Angel Has Fallen <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Lionsgate) gained 50 theaters to stave off its second week drop of 30%, earning $14.8 million domestically over the four-day weekend. After two weeks, the film has earned $43.9 million overall, now past its reported production budget of $40 million.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Second Place\u00a0 \u2013 \u2018Good Boys\u2019<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_dy2C_lvlQE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to the four-day weekend and a gain of 105 theaters, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good Boys<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> actually increased its domestic box office by 4% with $12.1 million. That\u2019s still quite low for a film that\u2019s only been out for three weeks and is playing in over 3,400 theaters, but we\u2019re dealing with 2019 box office rules, here. But the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good Boys <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(and Universal) are still getting rewarded with a $70.8 million worldwide box office off a reported $20 million budget.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And Third\u00a0 \u2013 \u2018The Lion King\u2019<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BsM7pxAg4uw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So audiences may or may not still be feeling the love tonight. So much so, they turned out to watch <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Lion King <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">again instead of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overcomer <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(which fell from #3 to #5). The Disney animated remake lost over 100 theaters but still managed to gain 15.6% from last week, earning $9.3 million domestically after seven weeks at the box office. Clearly, the film has been using all this time to practice its roar.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rounding Out The Rest Of The Box Office<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There wasn\u2019t as much movement in the Top 10 as usual, and only one film fell off from last week (we\u2019ll get to that later). The films that maintained their placement on the charts include <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hobbs &amp; Shaw <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Universal) at #4 and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ready or Not <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Fox Searchlight) at #6. Warner Bros. is the only major studio not seen in the Top 10 this week, but that will change dramatically with the release of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It: Chapter Two<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in just a few days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only newcomer to the Top 10 was <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spider-Man: Far From Home <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">at #10, which Sony rereleased with bonus material for a gross of $5.5 million domestically over the four-day weekend in over 3,100 theaters. I like to call this \u201cThe Endgame Gambit,\u201d and it\u2019s so far been a moderately effective tactic for Disney and now Sony this past summer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two other films dropped in the rankings this week: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overcomer <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Affirm) fell two spots to #5 as previously mentioned, and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Angry Birds Movie 2<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Sony) fell two spots to #9. Neither film is a flop by any means, but they\u2019ve both performed a bit under expectations so far, at least for their genre.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last, we saw two films climb in the rankings ever so slightly, despite both films losing theaters. First there\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Lionsgate), which climbed one spot to #7. And <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dora and the Lost City of Gold <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Paramount) did the same, climbing one spot to #8. Looks like Labor Day weekend was a good time for families and for people wanting to catch up on movies that might not have been their first choice, but were still curious enough to see given a long weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And They\u2019re Out<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I guessed last week that <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once Upon a Time in Hollywood <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Sony) might manage to stay in the Top 10 thanks to a lack of new releases, but <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spider-Man: Far From Home <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(also a Sony movie) outgrossed it by just $105,000.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regardless, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once Upon a Time in Hollywood <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">has done all right this past summer for a non-franchise movie in 2019, earning $283.7 million worldwide off of a reported budget of $90 million. That makes it the second-highest-grossing film by Quentin Tarantino domestically behind <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Django Unchained<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, as well as the third-highest-grossing film worldwide behind the aforementioned film and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inglorious Basterds<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s it for this weekend.
