comScore today announced the official worldwide weekend box office estimates for the weekend of March 19, 2017, as compiled by the company’s theatrical measurement services.
The big news of the weekend, of course, was Disney's Beauty and the Beast, which set a brand-new March opening record with $170 million, surpassing the previous record set by Warner Bros' Batman v Superman just last year. Opening with $16.3 million in Thursday previews, it added up to a $63.8 million opening day, then dropped slightly on Saturday and more on Sunday. It averaged a whopping $40,380 per theater in 4,210 theaters nationwide including $12.5 million on 377 IMAX screens.
Besides beating Batman v Superman's $166 million opening, Beauty and the Beast also beat the $169 million opening for Harry Potter: Deathly Hallows Part 2, the previous opening record for the film's star, Emma Watson. Depending on how things play out with actual numbers for Sunday, Beauty and the Beast could be anywhere between...

comScore today announced the official worldwide weekend box office estimates for the weekend of March 12, 2017, as compiled by the company’s theatrical measurement services.
This weekend saw Kong: Skull Island sprint out of the gates with a solid $61 million opening. This defied certain projections, which saw the film taking the cake in the $40-$50 million range. Our very own Edward Douglas, however, was much closer to the mark in his own projection of $58.3 million (though his initial projection was even closer, at $61.6 million). Given how much lower projections were, this is quite the auspicious start for the film, but it’s important to note that it’s still a far cry under Godzilla’s own $93 million opening, and that film was made for $20 million less, and it went on to only net a profit of around $52 million.

comScore announced the official worldwide weekend box office estimates for the weekend of February 12, 2017, as compiled by the company’s theatrical measurement services.
The race between The Lego Batman Movie and Fifty Shades Darker wasn’t much of a competition, with Lego Batman beating out the former film by nearly $10 million domestically at $55.6 million. While that was enough to secure the weekend for the animated spinoff, that’s still a disappointing number for a film that’s garnered so much positive buzz in the past week. The studio, and Box Office Mojo pegged the film to take in at least $60 million in its opening weekend. It’s not terribly far off, but considering all that it’s had going in it’s favor, it is a bit disappointing.
This is especially sad when compared to Fifty Shades Darker, which took in $46.8 million. Unlike Lego Batman, Fifty Shades as an embarrassing...

comScore today announced the official worldwide weekend box office estimates for the weekend of February 05, 2017, as compiled by the company’s theatrical measurement services.
In a bit of a surprise move, Split managed to take the domestic box office for the third weekend in a row, even beating out horror newcomer Rings, the sequel to the popular horror film, The Ring, which hit theaters a good decade or so back. While the buzz surrounding Rings hasn’t been particularly strong, it was largely assumed that it would be the one to dethrone M. Night Shyamalan’s surprise horror/thriller, but it looks like the director still has a few more surprises up his sleeve.
A Dog’s Purpose came in at third place, only dropping around 40 percent from its opening weekend. Not a bad performance, considering the controversy surrounding it. In addition, since it’s been found that no animals...
