Trainwreck tops box office while The Fantastic Four has less than amazing opening weekend
Romantic comedy Trainwreck steamrolled its way to the top of the box office for the first time over the weekend, three weeks after it opened.
The Amy Schumer and Bill Hader offering made $3.2m after the number of screens showing it increased to 396, up from 211 last week and 236 on its opening weekend.
Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation slipped to second with takings of $2.687m across 405 screens, down from last week’s high of $5.019m from the same number of screens.
Meanwhile the latest Marvel themed film, The Fantastic Four, failed to set the box office alight, pulling in $2.619 over its opening weekend in 333 screens.
Why is a screen average of $7866 for Fantastic Four a poor result, while a screen average of $5194 a good result?
