Thor: Ragnarok dominated the movies for another week but both of the new wide releases did business that they have to be happy about considering that it could have gone either way for them. Next weekend Justice League will definitely shake up the charts. But the big news this weekend was surely Lady Bird which had an incredible second week earning over a million on just 37 screens; word of mouth is strong with this one. Three Billboards also sold out houses on its 4 screens. Norway's memorable Oscar submission Thelma also opened this weekend, albeit only on one screen for a $12,000 gross.
The Florida Project, now in its sixth weekend showed the first signs of slowing down... but awards season will surely give it a second wind. In other long-lasting news Blade Runner 2049 which was instantly dubbed a failure on release has stuck around in the top ten every week since so interest didn't dissipate instantly. It had legs, however wobbly they first looked entering the room.
WHAT DID YOU SEE THIS WEEKEND?
