weekend box office

YOUR WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: The Kevin Hart-Ice Cube comedy Ride Along cruised to a second week of box-office dominion this weekend, bringing its total haul to $75 million (thrice its budget). The rest of the Top 5 was essentially the same, but for Frozen (now at about $350m) and Jack Ryan switching spots. The Top 10’s only debut was Lionsgate’s I, Frankenstein, which scared up just $8.2m (good for #6).

  1. Ride Along Universal $21.1m (-49%) 2,759/$7,670 avg. (week 2)
  2. Lone Survivor Universal $12.6m (-43%) 3,162/$3,985 avg. (week 5)
  3. The Nut Job Open Road $12.3m (-37%) 3,472/$3,547 avg. (week 2)
  4. Frozen Walt Disney $9m (-23%) 2,757/$3,277 avg. (week 10)
  5. Jack Ryan Paramount $8.8m (-43%) 3,387/$2,598 avg. (week 2)

Big gainers among the awards-grabbing elite are Dallas Buyers Club (+117%), Nebraska (+63%) and 12 Years a Slave (+31%). (1/27a)
