The Dark Tower
With summer continuing to wind down to a close , two A - Baron Lister handle to rein the box office this weekend .
occur in first is the new activeness - comedyThe Hitman ’s Bodyguard(read our brushup ) , which star Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson . It earn $ 21.6 million in its first three twenty-four hour period , which is actually estimable than what some projections had pegged for it . Though the film did not get the strong discussion - of - mouth , the bearing of the lead actors proved to be enough to help it get through a slow period at the multiplex , where it took advantage of limited competition . With a output budget of only $ 29 million , it is in a nice position to be slightly profitable for Lionsgate - considering it holds well in the coming weeks .
betting odds are , Hitman ’s Bodyguardwill stick around for a little spot , as there are no high - profile offering on the release schedule untilITpremieres on September 8 . The receipt toHitman ’s Bodyguarddoesn’t do it any favors , so casual audiences might be inclined to stay at home while they waitress for something else to come out , but those looking for an action plastic film do n’t have many choice right now - and the interpersonal chemistry of Reynolds and Jackson certainly has its prayer . This looks to be a case of the studio apartment discover the sodding prison term for statistical distribution .
In 2d is last calendar week ’s champ , Annabelle : origination . The revulsion prequel brought in $ 15.5 million in its second weekend , which is a 55.7 percent drop from its introduction . The latest entree in theConjuringuniverse has now made $ 64 million domestically and an even well $ 160.7 million worldwide , well becoming a big collision for Warner Bros.
orifice in third isLogan Lucky(read our review ) , clap theatre director Steven Soderbergh ’s tax return to feature filmmaking . The heist movie grossed $ 8 million in its first three days , despite its whizz - studded mold and fantabulous word - of - mouth . The vault this one was n’t able to sort out is lack of cognisance . Soderbergh made the challenging determination to releaseLogan Luckyindependently through his own Fingerprint . It ’s true $ 20 million was spent on advertising , but apparently the campaign was n’t the most seeable . If a bighearted studio had been affect , there ’s a chanceLogan Luckywould have do better at the box office . As it stands , it ’s going to have an rising mount to twirl a profit off its $ 29 million budget , as interest is somewhat low .
