Sully Continues to Soar at Box Office

Sully continues to succeed as three new releases look to avoid crashing.
For the second week in a row, the Sully [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/tag/view/clint+eastwood][/I] topped the box office, grossing $22 million. Through two weekends, it's taken in $70.5 million domestically, and another $24.3 million in foreign markets. On a relatively modest budget of $60 million, it's going to be just fine.
We saw three large wide releases this past weekend, none of which manages to take in even $10 million. Blair Witch [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/moviesandtv/reviews/cinemarter/17234-Blair-Witch-2016-Horror-Sequel-Movie-Review] was the best of the bunch, grossing $9.7 million. That's less than the original's wide-release opening of $29.2 million, as well as the sequel's $13.2 million. Still, it was produced on only about $5 million, so it's not in any risk of not turning a profit. Its D+ CinemaScore does suggest that its next couple of weekends will really suffer, though.
Another too-late sequel was released this past weekend: Bad Moms [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridget_Jones%27s_Baby], which to date has grossed over $110 million domestically, and over $150 million total overall.
Finally, we have The Walk [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/moviesandtv/reviews/cinemarter/17231-Snowden-2016-Oliver-Stone-Movie-Review], which only managed $10.1 million for its entire domestic run, but The Walk grossed over $50 million overseas, something not likely to be replicated by Snowden.
Here is the top ten for the weekend:
1. Sully [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/moviesandtv/reviews/cinemarter/17219-Sully-2016-Miracle-on-the-Hudson-Clint-Eastwood-Movie-Review] ($22 million, week 2)
