News & Analysis • Boxoffice Staff • January 30 2017

Universal’s Split led the box office for the second consecutive weekend with $25.65 million, a very mild 35.8 percent drop for the usually front-loaded horror genre. Universal’s fellow film A Dog’s Purpose debuted in second place with $18.22 million. Fox’s Hidden Figures took third place with $14.00 million, declining only 10.9 percent on the strength of its several Oscar nominations announced earlier in the week. Sony’s Resident Evil: The Final Chapter started in fourth place with $13.60 million, the lowest debut among any of the six Resident Evil films when adjusting for inflation. Rounding out the top five was Lionsgate’s La La Land, expanding to its highest theater count to date and riding the buzz of its record-tying 14 Oscar nominations. Both Hidden Figures and La La Land surpassed $100 million domestically this weekend as well.
