It doesn’t happen often, but every now and again the studio actually nails their estimates and Fox nailed it this weekend with The Other Woman, which was estimated at $24.7 million and once actuals came in it didn’t budge, taking the top spot from Captain America: The Winter Soldier after three straight weeks at #1.
The weekend’s other new release, the Paul Walker and RZA actioner Brick Mansions, dropped only $100,000 to $9.5 million with spot on predictions by Roger and Trent Carroll.
In terms of holdovers, Heaven is for Real held on nicely, dropping only 36.6% from last weekend for a $16.2 million finish while Transcendence dropped 61.2% to a mere $4.2 million as the Johnny Depp-led sci-fi film is dying a quick death.
Finally, one note on the accuracy leaderboards. A couple of you emailed me asking about the accuracy percentages, wondering why they didn’t drop dramatically after the bombing of Transcendence last weekend. I do believe there may be an error in the calculations and I am looking into them. Below are the current standings based on the current calculations, and once I find time to look into these deeper I will offer an update. Suffice to say, I think the Accuracy Leaderboard will be changing soon. I appreciate your patience and for bringing it to my attention.
I’ve listed the current top ten from the points and accuracy leaderboards directly below and you can find the full leaderboard here. For the complete box office top ten and points awarded for this weekend specifically click here.
