‘Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa’ dethroned ‘Gravity’ and seized the top spot at the box office this weekend by bringing in $32 million. The film is already turning a profit as it only took $15 million to make. ‘Bad Grandpa’ is performing on track with the other ‘Jackass’ movies which means it should finish around $80 million in its total run.
‘Gravity’ is still flying high however. The sci-fi thriller brought in $20.3 million and crosses the $200 million mark domestically. This makes ‘Gravity’ George Clooney’s highest grossing film of all time.‘Gravity’ will be losing its IMAX screen run in the upcoming week which is where the film has done a lot of its business so the film’s numbers may be dropping shortly.
‘Captain Phillips’ is still afloat in its third week which generated $11.8 million. It is expected to cross the $100 million mark in the next few weeks. The film is also generating award buzz for Tom Hanks.
The Ridley Scott drama ‘The Counselor’ saw a fourth place debut and brought in $8 million. The film, which boasts a star studded cast, only cost $25 million to make and should do alright despite negative reviews from critics.
Next week, ‘Ender’s Game’ and ‘Last Vegas’ hope to take control of the box office.
