Leading the box office for the second consecutive week was Fox’s Hidden Figures, with a $27.50 million four-day Martin Luther King weekend. Universal’s Sing took second place with $19.02 million, and Lionsgate’s award winner La La Land rose to its highest rank yet with a $17.71 million third place. Disney’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story became the highest-grossing release of 2016 over the weekend, on Friday to be exact, with a $16.80 million frame.
The five new wide debuts were surprisingly led by STX Entertainment’s horror The Bye Bye Man, which beat expectations with a $15.20 million start and fifth place. Paramount’s sci-fi action comedy Monster Trucks began in sixth place with $14.17 million. Lionsgate’s Patriots Day, which some expected to contend for first place on the weekend, started wide in a disappointing seventh place with $13.75 million. Open Road Films’ Sleepless debuted in eighth place with $9.77 million. And Warner Bros.’ period crime thriller Live By Night only started with $6.00 million.
