The final numbers are in and as much as it looks like a down weekend, it was actually an improvement on last year when Oz The Great and Powerful when in its second frame. Same goes with this weekend as a holdover takes the top spot ahead of a couple of new releases.
Rising to #1 after a second place finish last weekend is Mr. Peabody & Sherman with $21.8 million, a $600,000 increase over Sunday’s estimates. The film flip-flopped with last weekend’s champion, 300: Rise of an Empire, which added $100,000 to its estimate for a $19.2 million second weekend, a drop of 57.4% from its opening.
Dreamworks’ Need for Speed wasn’t very big off the starting block, coming in with only $17.8 million in its first weekend and Tyler Perry suffered the worst opening for any of his films as The Single Moms Club tallied only $8 million. It’s the first of Perry’s releases to open below $10 million.
In other news, Wes Anderson‘s The Grand Budapest Hotel kept on trucking, adding 62 theaters for a whopping 66, where it brought in $3.6 million for a $55,122 per theater average.
The Veronica Mars movie dipped out of the top ten to #11 with an opening weekend of $1.9 million from 291 theaters.
