1. The Martian- $37M/108.7M
Ridley Scott's geeky sci-fi drama The Martian isn't coming back down to Earth any time soon. The Matt Damon-led film earned $37M in week two, slipping only 32% which is pretty darn good. The general comparison has been to Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity from a couple of years ago as both films are being positioned similarly, however The Martian comes up about $14M short over the same time period.
2. Hotel Transylvania 2- $20.3M/$116.8M
3. Pan (review here)- $15.3M
Not even Tinker Bell could save Joe Wright's Pan from being one of the year's biggest flops, at least domestically. The big budget Peter Pan origin boasted a few big names, such as Hugh Jackman, Rooney Mara, and Garrett Hedlund, but never seemed to pick up much interest. Perhaps it was the oddball marketing strategy which focused on Jackman's flamboyant version of Blackbeard the pirate and Hedlund's hook-less Captain Hook. With a $150M budget Warner Bros. will be counting on overseas totals to steer this Jolly Roger to profitability, and that may very well happen. Would it be enough for them to move forward on the rest of the proposed trilogy? Probably not, but you never know.
4. The Intern- $8.6M/$49.5M
5. Sicario- $7.3M/$26.7M
6. Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials- $5.2M/$70.6M
7. The Walk- $3.6M/$6.3M
Robert Zemeckis' high-wire 3D drama The Walk had a wobbly IMAX debut last week, but the hope was that it would fare better upon expansion. Well, that that didn't happen. Jumping to 2509 theaters, the film only brought in $3.6M, for a paltry $1.45K per site average. Not good, and things are only going to get worse as Guillermo Del Toro's Crimson Peak takes over the remaining IMAX locations. Oof.
8. Black Mass- $3.1M/$57.5M
9. Everest- $3M/$38.2M
10. The Visit- $2.4M/$61M
