franchise grossed an estimated $10.8M boosting the sum to $199.3M. The first of five films from this new Warner Bros. That would make it second best this year among live-action R-rated comedies behind Bad Moms.įantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them slipped 41% in its fourth weekend and got to within striking distance of the double century mark.
Moviegoers often find comedies like these later during the holidays so Office certainly has the potential to reach beyond $70M by the end of its domestic run. Reviews for the $45M-budgeted pic were lackluster and audiences polled by CinemaScore gave a so-so B grade. Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman headline the cast. Paramount used the all-star pic as counter-programming to all the kid fare and tentpole action movies that have ruled the box office this holiday season and hopes to keep finding audiences during the upcoming run of Rogue One. The studio’s outlook for 2017 looks equally impressive.Ĭoming close to the number one spot but settling for runner-up was the R-rated comedy Office Christmas Party which bowed to an estimated $17.5M from 3,210 locations for a good $5,452 average. This caps off a banner year that saw records shatter thanks to all divisions coming through with stellar hits including Marvel, Lucasfilm, Pixar and the live-action and animation departments of Disney proper. The Disney machine has been flexing its end-of-year muscles and the studio is set to have the number one film over eight of the nine weekends of November and December this year with Doctor Strange, Moana, and next weekend’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Worldwide total sits at $238.8M with half of the international market’s top 12 countries still to open. Moana is currently running 26% ahead and a final domestic gross in the $240M range is possible. Both toons launched impressively over the five-day Thanksgiving holiday weekend and have held up relatively well in the second and third frames. So far, Moana has been running at a pace similar to the studio’s Tangled from 2010. After its third weekend, the island adventure boosted the cume to $145M for the studio with the lucrative holiday season still to come. This weekend, for a third consecutive time, Disney’s hit animated comedy Moana ruled the North American box office this time grossing an estimated $18.8M with a good hold that saw a drop of only 33%.
