Friday Box-Office: Fury Blows Away Competition
Another WWII hit for Brad Pitt
WWII tank actioner Book of Life [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/escape-to-the-movies/9811-Fury-Movie-Review] will open in third place, posting strong box-office especially from increasingly-prominent Hispanic audiences.
Also of note were impressive per-screen numbers for Dear White People. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/136553-New-Birdman-Trailer-Takes-to-the-Skies] The Michael Keaton-starring showbiz satire pulled $89,500 on only 4 screens (release is scheduled to expand); while college race-relations dramedy Dear played strong with $33,864 across 11. Both films have been touted as early award season contenders.
Next week sees the release of two potentially strong challengers for the top spots: The Keanu Reeves revenge shoot-em-up John Wick [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/moviesandtv/reviews/12409-John-Wick-Movie-Review] and the Halloween-timed teen horror shocker Ouija.
