Daily Box Office Report
Wednesday, August 16, 2017
By Daniel Garris
| Warner’s Annabelle: Creation grossed $2.845 M on Wednesday to lead the daily box office for a sixth consecutive day. Annabelle: Creation was down a sizable 37.2 percent from Tuesday.
Annabelle: Creation continues to perform very well with its low production cost in mind and outpace expectations with a six-day start of $46.001 M. That places Annabelle: Creation 4.8 percent ahead of the
$43.904 M six-day launch of 2014’s Annabelle. BoxOfficeReport is predicting a second weekend take of $14.7 M for Annabelle: Creation. |
| Fellow Warner Bros. release Dunkirk held steady in second place with $1.276 M. Dunkirk declined 30.4 percent from Tuesday and a very solid 34.7 percent from last Wednesday. The 27-day
total for Dunkirk stands at $157.602 M. Dunkirk is running 5.2 percent ahead of the $149.781 M grossed by 2014’s Interstellar after 27 days of wide release. BoxOfficeReport is predicting that
Dunkirk will gross $7.2 M in its fifth weekend. |
| Open Road’s The Nut Job 2: Nutty By Nature remained in third with $885 K. The Nut Job 2 was down a very sharp 43.4 percent from Tuesday’s performance. The Nut Job 2 has grossed
a softer than expected $11.734 M through six days of release. The film is running a lackluster 57.0 percent behind the $27.304 M six-day haul of 2014’s The Nut Job. BoxOfficeReport is predicting a second weekend
gross of $5.0 M for The Nut Job 2. |
| Sony’s The Emoji Movie continued to claim fourth place with $836 K. The Emoji Movie fell a sharp 42.5 percent from Tuesday and 48.8 percent from last Wednesday. The Emoji Movie
continues to perform in line with expectations with a 20-day gross of $66.603 M. BoxOfficeReport is predicting that The Emoji Movie will take in $4.1 M during its fourth weekend. |
| Fellow Sony release The Dark Tower rounded out the day’s unchanged top five with $801 K. That represented a 37.6 percent decrease from Tuesday and a 45.4 percent decrease from last Wednesday.
The Dark Tower has grossed an underwhelming $37.204 M in thirteen days. BoxOfficeReport is predicting a third weekend gross of $3.8 M for The Dark Tower. |
| Sony also claimed sixth place on Wednesday, as Spider-Man: Homecoming grossed $748 K for the day. Spider-Man: Homecoming was down 36.5 percent from Tuesday and down just 33.2 percent
from last Wednesday. Spider-Man: Homecoming has grossed a strong $309.107 M in 41 days. BoxOfficeReport is predicting that Spider-Man: Homecoming will gross $4.3 M this weekend. |
| Universal’s Girls Trip took seventh place with $684 K. Girls Trip was down only 29.3 percent from Tuesday and down 41.2 percent from last Wednesday. Girls Trip has grossed
$99.498 M in 27 days and is set to pass the $100 M domestic mark today. BoxOfficeReport is predicting a fifth weekend take of $4.0 M for Girls Trip. |
