| Warner’s Joker led the daily box office for a thirteenth consecutive day after taking in $4.911 million on Wednesday. Joker was down just 29.6 percent from Tuesday and down a sizable 48.9 percent
from last Wednesday’s performance (which was inflated a bit from the Yom Kippur holiday). Yesterday saw Joker surpass the $213.516 million final domestic gross of last year’s Venom, as Joker has grossed a stronger
than expected $213.820 million through thirteen days. The thirteen-day take of Joker is an impressive 41.7 percent ahead of the $150.919 million thirteen-day haul of Venom. BoxOfficeReport is predicting that Joker
will continue to hold up well this weekend with $33.0 million in its third weekend. |
| United Artists Releasing and MGM’s The Addams Family held steady in second place with $1.500 million. The Addams Family was down a sharp 44.5 percent from Tuesday. In the bigger picture, the
relatively inexpensive The Addams Family continues to perform well with a strong six-day start of $39.285 million. That is 13.1 percent ahead of the $34.740 million six-day launch of 2016’s
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. BoxOfficeReport is predicting that The Addams Family will gross $17.0 million in its second weekend. |
| Paramount’s Gemini Man took in $1.389 million to remain in a close third. Gemini Man was also down sharply yesterday, as the pricey Will-Smith led film declined 44.0 percent from Tuesday.
Gemini Man has grossed $26.934 million in six days. While that is on the low end of expectations, the film is off to a lackluster start with its large price-tag in mind. Due in part to the film losing IMAX shows to Disney’s
Maleficent: Mistress of Evil this weekend, BoxOfficeReport is predicting that Gemini Man will fall sharply in its second weekend with $9.2 million. |
| Meanwhile, Focus’ Downton Abbey and Roadside’s Judy claimed fourth and fifth place with respective daily grosses of $659,460 and an estimated $465,000. Downton Abbey was down a slim
10.8 percent from Tuesday and down a solid 35.0 percent from last Wednesday, while Judy was down 23.8 percent from Tuesday and down just 26.7 percent from last Wednesday. Respective total grosses stand at $84.92 million through
27 days for Downton Abbey and at $16.54 million through 20 days for Judy. BoxOfficeReport is predicting weekend grosses of $2.9 million for Downton Abbey and $2.1 million for Judy. |
