As expected, Thor: The Dark World remained atop the box office in its second weekend but it was the unexpected performance of newcomer The Best Man Holiday that has people talking.
Thor took in $38.4 million in its sophomore weekend, right in line with my $39.3M prediction. The Best Man Holiday, a sequel to the 1999 film that grossed $34 million total, debuted second with a terrific $30.5 million. This is well above my $18.7M prediction and tops even the most generous estimates.
Rounding out the top five, holdovers Last Vegas was third with $8.8M (above my $7.5M prediction), Free Birds was fourth with $8.3M (just below my $8.9M prediction), and Bad Grandpa was fifth with $7.6M (better than my $6.5M estimate).
Be sure to check the blog later today when I’ll have prediction posts up on next weekend’s newbies – The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and Delivery Man.
