Suicide Squad Annihilates Box Office Record

Jason Bourne dropped over 60% in its second week of release, grossing $22.4 million. That’s a larger drop than Star Trek Beyond‘s second week, although Bourne’s budget was significantly lower. Speaking of Star Trek, Beyond dropped another 58.58% to fifth place, raking in only $10 million. With (so far) disappointing international grosses, and well lower than expected domestic takes, Beyond is looking like a certified bomb. The other wide release of the weekend was the Kevin Spacey cat movie, Nine Lives. It made an estimated $6.3 million over the weekend, which still feels like too much to me, but probably not enough for its studio, especially given its reported $30 million budget. Here is the top ten for the weekend:

1. Suicide Squad ($133.7 million, week 1) 2. Jason Bourne ($22.4 million, week 2) 3. Bad Moms ($14 million, week 2) 4. The Secret Life of Pets ($11.5 million, week 5) 5. Star Trek Beyond ($10 million, week 3) 6. Nine Lives ($6.3 million, week 1) 7. Lights Out ($6 million, week 3) 8. Nerve ($4.9 million, week 2) 9. Ghostbusters ($4.7 million, week 4) 10. Ice Age: Collision Course ($4.3 million, week 3) Source: BoxOfficeMojo
