YOUR WEEKEND
BOX OFFICE

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

Warner Bros.' Ben Affleck-led The Accountant debuted in the top spot at the box office this weekend with $25m. The film, which also stars Anna Kendrick and J.K. Simmons and cost $44m to make, opened to lukewarm reviews, though. The only other new release to make the Top 10, Universal's Kevin Hart: What Now, followed at #2 with $12m. The latter is a recording of the final stop of Hart's stand-up tour, which marked the first time a comedian has ever performed to a sold-out football stadium (Lincoln Financial Field).

FYI - last week's #1, Universal's The Girl on the Train, missed landing the #2 spot by less than $10k.

1. The Accountant (Warner Bros.) $25m 3,332/$7,417 avg. (debut)
2. Kevin Hart: What Now? (Universal) $12m 2,567/$4,669 avg. (debut)
3. The Girl on the Train (Universal) $12m 3,241/$3,695 avg. (week 2)
4. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (Fox) $8.9m 3,835/$2,321 avg. (week 3)
5. Deepwater Horizon (Lionsgate) $6.4m 3,403/$1,866 avg. (week 3)
