Due to the holiday weekend it took an extra day for box office actuals to come in and now they have and Ride Along extends its record January opening by $300,000, bringing in $41.5 million and it will attempt to repeat this weekend against a rather soft round of newcomers.
Open Road’s The Nut Job dipped just far enough to become their second largest opening ever behind 2012’s The Grey at $19.4 million, but it was more than enough to take out Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, which debuted to a paltry $15.4 million and only $18 million for the four-day weekend.
Finally, Devil’s Due managed $8.3 million on a $7 million budget as cheap horror thrills continue to be a lucrative business for studios.
It’s still early in the season so it’s going to take a while to separate the points leaderboard and we still have a couple weekends before the accuracy leaderboard goes live, but for now I’ve listed the current top ten from the points leaderboards directly below and you can find the full leaderboard here.
