Geostorm knocks Blade Runner 2049 off top spot at weekend box office
American disaster film Geostorm topped the weekend box office with earnings of $1.539m despite abysmal reviews and performance over in the US.

It stars Gerard Butler, Jim Sturgess, Abbie Cornish and Alexandra Maria Lara.
In second place was Sony’s Blade Runner 2049, which fell out of the top spot for the first time since its debut.
This week it made $1.412m across 356 screens. Its weekend success brought total earnings to $10.579m.
In third place was The Mountain Between Us, which made 941,040 over the weekend.
Fourth was British crime thriller film The Snowman – the story of a detective whose investigating a young woman’s death leads him to ‘The Snowman Killer.’
It made $848,723 in its first weekend at box office.
Happy Death Day slipped from fourth to fifth at this weekend’s box office, grossing $797,840 across 227 screens.
