It was all about the Squad!
[dropcap size=small]T[/dropcap]his was a strong weekend for the box office that was mainly propelled by the opening of Suicide Squad. Suicide Squad was by far and away the box office winner for the weekend. Jason Bourne and Bad Moms were second and third respectively with both films in their second week at theaters. You can view the box office numbers below.
1. Suicide Squad– $135.1 M ($135.1 M)
2. Jason Bourne– $22.7 M ($103.4 M)
3. Bad Moms– $14.2 M ($51.1 M)
4. The Secret Life of Pets– $11.6 M ($319.6 M)
5. Star Trek Beyond– $10.2 M ($127.9 M)
6. Nine Lives– $6.5 M ($6.5 M)
7. Lights Out– $6 M ($54.7 M)
8. Nerve– $4.9 M ($26.9 M)
9. Ghostbuster– $4.8 M ($116.7 M)
10. Ice Age: Collision Course– $4.3 M ($53.5 M)
Pete’s Dragon and Sausage Party will be coming out later this week and will be able to shake up the top 10. With Suicide Squad not turning in the reviews it wanted there is no guarantee that it will be able to hold on to its top spot. We will just have to wait and see.
