Tom Cruise's ‘American Made' Dead Even With ‘It,' ‘Kingsman 2'

Three films are essentially tied at the top of the weekend box office, as of Sunday morning.

Warner Bros. and New Line's ”It" appears to be back on top with $17.3 million from 3,917 locations. But Universal's ”American Made" and Fox's ”Kingsman: The Golden Circle" are trailing just behind with $17 million each. Since the numbers are so close, some studios are waiting until later in the day to make the official call. Meaning this one likely won't be settled until Monday morning.

What's certain is that Sony's remake of ”Flatliners" is coming in below expectations. After getting killed by critics (0% on Rotten Tomatoes) the horror flick is opening to $6.7 million from 2,552 locations.

”American Made" stars Tom Cruise as a commercial airline pilot who's recruited by the CIA to fly reconnaissance missions over South America. A $17 million opening is modest for movie starring Cruise, but the studio is hoping for a long runway based on positive reviews and word of mouth. The movie has been earning money overseas for the past few weekends, giving it $64.7 million in international grosses so far. 55% of the domestic audience is male, and 56% is over the age of 30.

There's a chance ”It" it will return to the top spot after taking second place to ”Kingsman" last weekend, which would be a feat. The horror movie smashed records for the month of September when it opened, and went on to become the highest grossing horror movie of all time. After this weekend, ”It's" domestic total stands at $291.2 million.

More to come...

Hey Bronson buddy how was The Mountain Between Us?

Flantliners Flatlined, the joke is right there!

 

[thekonamicode]

Flatliners is a mediocre remake of a mediocre movie and nobody asked for it.

Taylor Kitsch continues his streak.

Homecoming is still in theaters?

Which is precisely what im about to do

Was going to go see it on Wednesday.

I hope American Made ends up passing It tbh. Tom Cruise needs a win.

Hey! The original was at least a unique concept (16 year old me liked it lol).

 

[Korigama]

Using the exact same title for a movie that's not really a remake in relation to the movie that came before it is always dumb and annoying, and I have no idea why Hollywood continues to do it. It didn't make any sense with the modern version of The Thing, which was a prequel to the '80s one, and it doesn't make any with Flatliners, which is a sequel. Those crappy "sort of, but not really" reboots aren't anywhere near so important that they need to be remembered by their year of release instead of being given a sequential number or a subtitle like any other expansion.

 

[Bronx-Man]

I don’t ever wanna think of Tom Cruise getting spit-roasted.

The Mummy 2 will be a big hit in a few years. /s

Quiet, you.

Don’t even joke about that.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Not too bad for a non-action Cruise flick I suppose?

edit: oh snap it's a Doug Liman movie? I need to see this.

Also damn Flatliners really does have a 0% at RT. Brutal.

 

[BronsonLee]

The movie you bronson bumped

I can't bump a movie if I haven't seen it!

 

[The Real Napsta]

Might see Kingsman again tonight. Good movie.

It really is. I love Sam Jackson’s silly-ass lisp.

You've given it so much free advertising! I hadn't heard of it until you mentioned it.

 

[Fancyarcher]

That's not bad for American Made, especially since true box office stars are basically a dying breed, hopefully I'll be able to see it in a few days or something. It had a great increase too. WOM is indeed strong with the film.

I've heard Flatliners acts like a remake actually. Movie's still supposed to be garbage though. The original was a hit, but it had Julia Roberts coming off Pretty Woman a few months prior. It's a neat concept, but remaking it was just asking for box office trouble.

 

[black070]

Really enjoyed American Made, it was a pleasant surprise - would definitely recommend.

I fell asleep. Did Kiefer team up with them at all?

War seems like it's doing ok now? It seems like the budget was significantly lower than the 2nd one too

 

[Sweeney Tom]

I have no idea what you're referring to

I've got you, friend

I'ma go from seeing nothing in August and Sept (reading the synopsis for Kingsman lost me entirely) to watchin' 2049 and The Mountain Between Us in the same weekend

If Bronson wants to spend 100 minutes imagining himself as a blushing bride-to-be, stranded on a mountain with the ruggedly handsome Idris Elba, it's his god-given right as an American to do so.

bronson got worked

I'm almost sad that we spoiled it now. You would have been in your seat all excited to see some sweet platonic survival action. Then

EDIT: Wait, your images are off. Doakes-from-Dexter-Surprise-Motherfucker.gif

 

[Toa TAK]

I, for one, do not recommend The Mountain Between Us.

It’s weak as both a survival story and romance. >_>

Maybe see it if you like the cast.

It > Transformers worldwide


What a year

FTFY

After the disaster that was The Mummy he deserves what gets.

WB doesn't bother with early estimates of its late run films. We'll get the domestic weekend tomorrow, and a worldwide update on Tuesday. I wouldn't expect much more than $200k domestic and whatever Japan made this weekend though.

Wonder Woman was at $820.6M worldwide as of Thursday domestic and Wednesday overseas.

Any milestones it still has a chance of reaching?

 

[kswiston]

Beating Spider-Man 1 worldwide, and hitting a true 4x opening weekend multiplier domestically. Both are looking like extremely near misses to me.

EDIT: Some of it depends on how Wonder Woman did in Japan this weekend. Wonder Woman did not do all that well in Japan (it was under the previous DCEU films), but we're down to the last $1M to top Spider-Man worldwide.

Nah. Not with this movie.

I, for one, do not recommend The Mountain Between Us.

That'd be the only reason I'd see it and now I don't think that's worth it. Didn't know it was a Christian romance novel and not a survival story either.

It IS?

I knew it was a romance novel but not that kind. Crazy. Didn’t pick up on anything like that in the film unless they removed it as they adapted it.

 

[Dysun]

Kingsman 2 wasn't as good or interesting as the original, but I'm surprised to see how tepid the response for it is.

 

[Plinko]

Lego Ninjago movie is a disaster.

 

[Dishwalla]

You have to wonder what people are thinking when they are making movies like Flatliners.
