“Deadpool & Wolverine,' “Alien: Romulus” and “It Ends With Us” topped the charts again at the box office, outperforming new releases like “Blink Twice” and “The Crow.”.
This image released by Amazon/MGM Studios shows Naomi Ackie, left, and Channing Tatum in a scene from"Blink Twice." reclaimed first place at the North American box office in its fifth weekend with $18.3 million. Its cumulative international earnings now sit at over $1.2 billion.The Walt Disney Co., which owns 20th Century Studios, claimed the top two spots on the charts for the second weekend in a row withfollowing close behind the foul-mouthed superhero movie.
The new releases were victim to the crowded movie marketplace, resulting in what Dergarabedian called “box office déjà vu,” with the familiar films dominating and making it harder for the new releases to find their footing. Dergarabedian says the upcoming Labor Day holiday will likely benefit the newer titles as word-of-mouth spreads and more people head to theaters during the long weekend.
Rounding out the top five was “The Forge,” a faith-focused coming-of-age movie about a young man finding his way through Christianity. The film opened with $6.6 million and received an A+ CinemaScore from audiences. It was released by Affirm Films, Sony’s faith-based banner. Lionsgate’s “The Crow,” an R-rated adaptation of the acclaimed graphic novel and a remake of the 1994 film of the same name, opened with $4.6 million. The studio also floundered in August with the release of “Borderlands,” an adaptation of the video game, which made $15.2 million over three weekends compared to its reported $120 million budget.
