Each week on <\/span>Atom Insider<\/span>, we break down the box office numbers for all of the biggest films opening in theaters. This week, three new films hit wide release to varying results, with <\/span>Angel Has Fallen <\/span><\/i>managing to top the box office in its debut.<\/span><\/p>\n

This Week\u2019s Top Earner \u2013 \u2018Angel Has Fallen\u2019<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

The third Fallen<\/em> sequel from Lionsgate opened in over 3,200 theaters and scored $21.2 million domestically, which is a slight drop from the debut of <\/span>London Has Fallen <\/span><\/i>in 2016 and significantly less than how well <\/span>Olympus Has Fallen <\/span><\/i>did in 2013. Despite being a low point for the franchise in terms of box office, <\/span>Angel Has Fallen <\/span><\/i><\/a>made almost double the amount of last week\u2019s #1 winner, <\/span>Good Boys<\/span><\/i> (though just a little less than that film did a week ago).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We don\u2019t have global box office numbers for the film quite yet, but it\u2019s on track to make back its $40 million production budget by the time <\/span>It Chapter Two <\/span><\/i><\/a>presumably overshadows everything with its debut in early September. If it can make as much as <\/span>London Has Fallen <\/span><\/i>did internationally just three years ago, <\/span>Angel Has Fallen <\/span><\/i>could very well be a heavenly hit for Lionsgate at the tail end of the summer movie season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Second Place\u00a0 \u2013 \u2018Good Boys\u2019<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Universal\u2019s pre-teen version of <\/span>Superbad<\/span><\/i> made $11.7 million in its second week, which is a 45.1% drop despite the film gaining 149 theaters in a weekend that looked ripe for expansion. Worldwide, <\/span>Good Boys <\/span><\/i><\/a>has earned $49 million against a reported $20 million budget, making it a clear success when compared to other raunchy teen comedies from the past year, including <\/span>Booksmart,<\/span><\/i> which made less than half that amount over the course of its entire 11-week run.<\/span><\/p>\n

And Third\u00a0 \u2013 \u2018Overcomer\u2019<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

The latest faith-based film from Affirm and Sony performed adequately for its genre this weekend, grossing $8.2 million in over 1,700 theaters. That\u2019s a better debut than <\/span>The Nativity Story <\/span><\/i>from 2006 and <\/span>God\u2019s Not Dead 2<\/span><\/i> from 2016, plus it\u2019s a significantly stronger opening than Affirm\u2019s <\/span>Paul, Apostle of Christ <\/span><\/i>from 2018 and <\/span>All Saints <\/span><\/i>from 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t look like <\/span>Overcomer <\/span><\/i><\/a>will have much of a presence if at all internationally, but the Christian drama has already blown past its reported $5 million budget. Assuming there\u2019s a sequel in the near future, we can all start speculating about what they\u2019ll overcome next time. Coaching tennis?<\/span><\/p>\n

Rounding Out The Rest Of The Box Office<\/span><\/h2>\n

The rest of the Top 10 ranges in earnings between $5 million (<\/span>Once Upon a Time in Hollywood <\/span><\/i>at #10) and $8.1 million (<\/span>The Lion King <\/span><\/i>at #4). The only other new wide release on the list is <\/span>Ready or Not <\/span><\/i><\/a>from Fox Searchlight, which opened at #6 with $7.5 million, though this number has to be quantified by the film\u2019s early Wednesday release date.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, <\/span>Ready or Not <\/span><\/i>has made $10.6 million in less than a week with a low reported budget of $6 million. With that number taken into account, the film is actually one of the strongest openings ever for the studio, with a debut similar to <\/span>28 Days Later <\/span><\/i>and <\/span>The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Almost everything else in the Top 10 dropped about three spots in the rankings. <\/span>Hobbs & Shaw <\/span><\/i>(Universal) was #2 last week, but now it\u2019s at #5 behind <\/span>The Lion King <\/span><\/i>(Disney), which has held on to the Top 5 for six weeks now. Though it\u2019s underperforming domestically, the Fast and Furious<\/em> spinoff has fared far better overseas<\/a>, collecting a total of $588.1 million worldwide after a month at the box office<\/span><\/p>\n

The Angry Birds Movie 2<\/span><\/i> (Sony) and <\/span>Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark <\/span><\/i>(Lionsgate) fell out of the Top 5 this week, but both films have managed to pay back their reported production budgets, with <\/span>Scary Stories <\/span><\/i>turning out to be a surprise hit with $72 million worldwide. <\/span>Angry Birds 2<\/span><\/i>, by comparison, has earned $74.6 million worldwide, but with a larger budget and most of that money coming from overseas ticket sales.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dora and the Lost City of Gold <\/span><\/i>(Paramount) is in a similar situation to both those films. It\u2019s made $60.4 million worldwide after three weeks at the box office. On the plus side, most of that money is domestic. On the negative side, its outsized budget of $49 million might keep it from turning a profit now that school\u2019s back in session.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, we have <\/span>Once Upon a Time in Hollywood <\/span><\/i>(Sony) at #10, which could stay planted in the Top 10 next week due to a lack of major new releases. Regardless, the Tarantino film has done well these past five weeks, making $239.7 million worldwide against a reported $90 million budget. It needed to make close to that amount in order to satisfy heavy production and marketing costs, but it\u2019s a hit all the same as Tarantino\u2019s second highest-grossing film both domestically and overall behind <\/span>Django Unchained<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And They\u2019re Out<\/span><\/h2>\n

47 Meters Down: Uncaged<\/span><\/i> (Entertainment Studios) and <\/span>Blinded by the Light <\/span><\/i>(Warner Bros.) had short-lived life-spans in the Top 10, dropping out completely in just their second week, despite both films still playing in over 2,000 theaters each. By comparison, <\/span>The Peanut Butter Falcon<\/span><\/i> is playing in fewer than 1,000 theaters and managed to outperform <\/span>Blinded by the Light <\/span><\/i>this weekend, which has only made about half its reported production budget so far.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Art of Racing in the Rain <\/span><\/i>(Fox) also fell off the Top 10 after just three weeks at the box office. We don\u2019t know the exact budget of the film, but it\u2019s likely a flop after making just $25.2 million against a budget that could be as high as $50 million.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s it for this weekend. Check back with Atom Insider next week as we recap all the newest releases vying for the top of the box office.<\/span><\/p>\n
