This weekend was a big winner for Kong: Skull Island!
The reboot racked in $81.6 million overseas and brought in another $61 million from the domestic side alone to give it a $142.6 million opening weekend, which is why it’s number one movie in America right now!
As expected with a debut that big, Logan fell to number two on the week, although the Hugh Jackman flick still raced past $150 million in the U.S. and is now up to $430 million worldwide.
There is one problem, Kong: Skull Island cost about $185 million to make and had a huge marketing push, so it probably has to earn back half a billion dollars globally to re-make its money.
Now, after Logan in the second spot, Jordan Peele is still winning at the box office with a $21 million total in Get Out’s third weekend in theaters. That brings the film up above the $100 million mark, to $111.1 million, though Sunday. Get Out cost just $5 million to make. Not Bad!
