.” Sony’s adventure sequel debuted in first place to $60.1 million, dethroning “Frozen” after three consecutive weeks as box office champ.
“Black Christmas,” a slasher film that opened on Friday the 13th, launched at No. 5 and collected $4.4 million from 2,625 screens. Despite the soft start, “Black Christmas” carries a $5 million price tag, meaning it doesn’t need huge numbers to achieve profitability. That’s good news, considering its D+ CinemaScore from moviegoers might not bode well for word-of-mouth. Females drove opening weekend ticket sales, while over 50% of crowds were 25 years and older.
In third place, Lionsgate’s murder mystery “Knives Out” brought in another $9.25 million for a domestic tally of $78.9 million. The whodunit — directed by Rian Johnson and starring Daniel Craig, Jamie Lee Curtis and Chris Evans — has generated $83 million overseas and a strong $162 million worldwide.
