In third place was Passengers, which also managed to increase from last weekend (about 7% to be precise) to add $16.1 million to its domestic gross that, after 12 days, stands at $61.4 million. Passengers is running about 11% ahead of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo at the same point, and if it continues to play like that Sony/Columbia Christmas 2011 title, it'll narrowly get past $100 million. Moana sneaked back into the top five this weekend, into the fourth spot to be precise, grossing $10.9 million (a 42% increase from last weekend), meaning it's now grossed $210 million, making it the twelfth 2016 title to crack $200 million domestically. It appears Moana should be able to end its domestic run in the $230-240 million range. Why Him? rounded out the top five with a tiny 4% decrease, grossing another $10.6 million and bringing its domestic total to $34.6 million.
Fences came in at sixth with $10.1 million, a 50% increase from last one weekend (when it only had one day of wide release on Christmas Day to factor into its weekend box office) bringing its current domestic total to $29.7 million. Sometime today, it'll have surpassed the $30.2 million cume of The Great Debaters to become the biggest Denzel Washington directorial effort at the domestic box office.
La La Land, in its first full weekend of wide release, continued to show impressive strength, grossing $9.5 million (a 66% increase from last weekend) from 750 theaters for a per-theater average of $12,707 and a current domestic total of $34.2 million. Assassin's Creed, meanwhile, couldn't quite save face after its poor debut last weekend, going down only 16% to gross another $8.6 million, but its still only made $39.1 million. Assassin's Creed will get above $50 million in its domestic haul but it's hard to conceive it doing much more than that.
Next up is Manchester By The Sea, which continued its impressive box office run by adding $4.2 million (a whopping 53% increase from last weekend) to its domestic gross that now stands at $28.4 millon. And then we come to Collateral Beauty, which grossed another $4.15 million, a 3% dip from last weekend, to bring its domestic total to $25.7 million. Right behind it was Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, which grossed $4.1 million in its seventh weekend of release, a 40% increase from last weekend that brings its domestic total to $224.1 million. No word yet on how Dangal performed this weekend but it had grossed an impressive $7.1 million in its first 9 days of domestic release.
Office Christmas Party fell harder than many holdovers since its titular holiday has now come and gone, going down 30% to gross another $3.5 million, bringing its domestic gross to an only OK $51.1 million. Lion is actually doing quite well in its expanded release, grossing $2.2 million at 525 locations for a per-theater average of $4,314. It has now grossed $6 million domestically and it may even make a run for as much as $25 million domestically if it can get some high profile Oscar nods.
Jackie grossed $1.5 million this weekend at 359 locations for a per-theater average of $4,318, bringing its domestic gross to $7 million. And Arrival is still kicking, bringing its theater count up to 545 locations this frame and grossing $1.3 million, meaning its now grossed $92.1 million domestically.
Hidden Figures, in its first full weekend of release, managed to gross an outstanding $858,230 at 25 theaters for a $34,329 per-theater average. Having grossed $2.3 million already in just eight days of limited release, this one could really break out at the box office when it goes into wide release on Friday. That was actually a big enough sum to outpace the weekend grosses of two early November releases that were in considerably more theaters; Trolls and Doctor Strange. Trolls, first off, went up a massive 77% to gross $680,000, taking it past $150 million domestically to precisely $150.3 million. Doctor Strange, meanwhile, went down 8% to gross another $665,000, bringing its domestic total to $230.1 million.
Patriot's Day, in its second weekend of limited release play, grossed $147,820 (an 8% dip from last weekend) at 7 locations for a $21,117 per-theater average. Patriot's Day has now grossed $628,790. 20th Century Women (which debuted on Wednesday) made a strong showing in its opening weekend, grossing $112,705 at 4 theaters for a per-theater average of $28,176. In its second weekend of release,
Silence gathered another $83,000 at 4 locations (a 36% drop from last weekend) for a $20,750 per-theater average, bringing its current 10-day domestic gross to $310,374. Paterson debuted to $69,334 at 4 locations for a $17,334 per-theater average. Among past Jim Jarmusch movies, that's below the debuts for Coffe & Cigarettes and Only Lovers Left Alive. It'll be interesting to see how wide Bleecker Street (which is distributing this title on behalf of Amazon Studios) takes this motion picture considering only one of Jarmusch's past movies (Broken Flowers) has gone into more than 110 theaters.
Live By Night continued its poor showing in limited release, grossing only $37,000 at 4 locations for a per-theater average of $9,250. The newest Ben Affleck directorial effort has only grossed $106,000 over 8 days. We shall see if this crime drama can fare any better when it goes into wide release on January 13th. Finally, A Monster Calls is officially performing disastrously in limited release, grossing only $21,065 this weekend (a 32% drop from last weekend) that brings its 10-day limited release domestic gross to only $72,616.
The Top 12 movies this weekend grossed about $173.9 million, which brought the total domestic gross for 2016 to an all-time high of $11,369.2 billion. 1,320.5 billion tickets were sold last year, a teeny tiny increase from last year, only the second time in the 21st century that we've seen two years in a row of increasing ticket sales. The amount of tickets sold in 2016 were ahead of ticket sales in 2014 (the all-time low for attendance in the 21st century), 2011 and 2015, though slightly behind attendance levels in 2010, 2008 and 2013.
