Weekend Box Office Results For Sept. 11 – 13

THE PERFECT GUY (Sony Pictures) came in at number one at this weekend’s box office with an estimated $26.7 million.

After a painful breakup, successful lobbyist Leah Vaughn (Sanaa Lathan) jumps into a passionate relationship with a charming stranger (Michael Ealy). When her ex-boyfriend (Morris Chestnut) resurfaces in her life she has to figure out who she should trust and who she should fear.

With WAR ROOM at number one last week and STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON number one the three previous weekends, films led by African-American casts have now led the box office for five consecutive weeks.

M. Night Shyamalan’s THE VISIT (review) was a close second with $25.7 million. The film sits at 62% on Rotten Tomatoes and presently has the biggest horror opening of 2015. Scott Weinberg (Nerdist) says, “the end result is the director’s best film in quite some time and represents a big win for M. Night Shyamalan.”

Rentrak’s Senior Media Analyst Paul Dergarabedian commented, “Tom Cruise continues to thrill audiences around the world as Paramount’s summer hit, ‘Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation’ adds another $91.3 million this weekend with its debut in China powering the film to over $600 million global box office. Notably, one week ahead of its North American debut, Fox’s ‘Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials’ is off to a great start in 21 international territories with $26.8 million.”

From AP:

Of the weekend’s new releases, the low-budget horror sequel “Sinister 2” fared best, opening with an estimated $10.6 million for the Blumhouse production — well below the $18 million the 2012 original debuted with. The result was good enough for third place, behind Paramount’s “Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation,” which made $11.7 million in its fourth weekend of release.

Fox’s assassin thriller “Hitman: Agent 47,” the second attempt in eight years to adapt the popular video game, disappointed with $8.2 million. It will hope to do better abroad, where the 2007 original made $60.3 million. It began with $8.5 million over the weekend internationally.

Lionsgate’s stoner action-comedy “American Ultra,” starring Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg, also failed to spark much interest, opening with $5.5 million.

The three new releases — all violent, R-rated, poorly reviewed options — divided up a similar audience. The box office was down 7.5 percent from the same weekend last year, according to box-office data firm Rentrak.

Overseas, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: ROGUE NATION and TERMINATOR: GENISYS are doing well with audiences.

Rentrak’s Senior Media Analyst Paul Dergarabedian commented, “Tom Cruise and Arnold Schwarzenegger lead a star powered global weekend with a Paramount Pictures one-two punch as ‘Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation’ keeps moving toward the $500 million worldwide mark and ‘Terminator: Genisys’ takes the number one spot internationally as it opened in China this Sunday with a staggering $27.4 million at 25,000 locations.”
