The Martian flies to the top of the Box Office
Ridley Scott’s latest release, The Martian rocketed to the top of the box office charts in the US this weekend with $55 million, according to studio estimates.
So far the movie has passed $100 million worldwide already, though that successful launch wasn’t quite enough to send it beyond what Gravity made from it’s October opening.
The charts stayed fairly similar except for a couple of big movers. Hotel Transylvania 2, dislodged from its top spot after one week, fell to second with $33 million and drama Sicario was one of the more impressive performers this weekend, shooting up from 10th to third place with $15 million to date.
The Intern fell from second to fourth, taking in $11.6 million along the way, while Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials rounded up the top five with $7.6 million.
