The Boss Baby Wins Box Office for Second Straight Weekend

Posted on April 9, 2017

The Boss Baby was the top film in theaters again this weekend. It added $26.3 million to bring its total gross to $89.3 million after two weekends. Beauty and the Beast continues to thrive adding another $25 million during its fourth weekend. It is the year's top grossing film in the U.S. so far. It has made $432 million.

The Boss Baby and Beauty and the Beast holding the top two slots means the new arrivals did not do as well as they should have. Smurfs: The Lost Village opened in third with an opening of $14 million. It has a strong A CinemaScore. Going in Style opened in fourth and made $12.5 million. Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and Alan Arkin plot a bank robbery in the comedy adventure film. It has a B+ CinemaScore.

Going in Style was followed by Ghost in the Shell which plunged over 60% during its second weekend in theaters. It made $7.3 million. Ghost in the Shell was followed by Power Ranges, Kong: Skull Island, Logan and Get Out.

The Case for Christ had a weak opening in tenth place. It made $3.9 million in 1,174 theaters. You can view the box office chart for the weekend here.
