The Martian’ Back on Top but It’s Bombs Away at Box Office

The Martian’ Back on Top but It’s Bombs Away at Box Office,Matt Damon's "The Martian" is aback on top of the box office, afterwards binding Sony's Jack Black abhorrence ball "Goosebumps" this weekend. Fox's Ridley Scott-directed sci-fi account is headed for almost $16 actor over the three days. with the arresting champ not far behind.

That was the acceptable account at the nation's multiplexes this weekend. As for the bad news, cull up a armchair because this may yield awhile.

Universal's Oscar hopeful "Steve Jobs" bootless to cossack up in its advanced expansion, three added advanced openers bashed and the "Paranormal Activity" authorization finale's grosses were gutted by amphitheater owners affronted over Paramount's VOD absolution accession just 17 canicule afterwards its affected run. And the all-embracing box appointment anguish up down about 20 percent from endure year's commensurable weekend.

It was austere for the newcomers, all of which came in beneath expectations.

Vin Diesel's PG-13-rated activity fantasy "The Endure Witch Hunter" accomplished with $10.8 actor over the three canicule for Lionsgate, not abundant for a blur with a $75 actor assembly budget. "Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension" came in beneath $7 actor by far the everyman aperture gross for any blur in the franchise. The sixth and final access in the advantageous low-budget abhorrence alternation was in just 1,656 theaters, about bisected the amount antecedent films in the authorization formed out in. That's because several of the better amphitheater chains -- including Regal, Cinemark, Carmike, Marcus and Harkins -- banned to play it afterwards benefactor Paramount cut a accord with the AMC and Cineplex chains and said it would accomplish it accessible via video on appeal early, abridgement its absolute affected run.

"Rock the Kasbah," an R-rated ball starring Bill Murray as an over-the-hill bedrock bandage manager, austere and accomplished out of the top ten with $1.5 actor for Open Road.

"Jem and the Holograms," a PG-rated live-action agreeable adaptation of the 1980 activated TV show, did even worse, advancing in with almost $1 actor for the three canicule for Universal.

But the $7.2 actor advanced admission by "Steve Jobs" may accept been the a lot of disappointing. Universal is accepting the best year at the box appointment in Hollywood history, and the biopic starring Michael Fassbender as the backward Apple Inc. architect is its best achievement for awards and Oscar glory. But the big jump from 60 to 2,498 theaters in its third weekend was an advancing amplification and it didn't connect.
