YOUR WEEKEND
BOX OFFICE

The Top 5 Highest-Grossing Films in America Over the Weekend

Two debuts topped the weekend box office, as Tim Burton's Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children snagged the #1 spot with approximately $29m for Fox and Lionsgate's Deepwater Horizon, which stars Mark Wahlberg, Kurt Russell and Kate Hudson, came in at #2 with $21m. Truthfully, though, those numbers aren't great once one considers the films' respective $110m and $156m budgets.

Meanwhile, Relativity comedy Masterminds—starring Zach Galifianakis, Kristen Wiig, Owen Wilson, Jason Sudeikis, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones—debuted just outside the Top 5 at #6 with just north of $6.5m.

1. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (Fox) $29m 3,522/$8,092 avg. (debut)
2. Deepwater Horizon (Lionsgate) $21m 3,259/$6,321 avg. (debut)
3. The Magnificent Seven (Sony) $16m 3,674/$4,273 avg. (week 2)
4. Storks (Warner Bros.) $14m 3,922/$3,519 avg. (week 2)
5. Sully (Warner Bros.) $8.4m 3,717/$2,260 avg. (week 4)
