Weekend Box Office: 'Michael' Retakes Top Spot, 'Obsession' Impresses in Debut



In the face of no new major studio releases, Michael reclaimed the top spot at the box office in its fourth weekend of release with a $26 million haul. It has made $283 million domestically and $703.8 million worldwide.

Second place belonged to The Devil Wears Prada 2, which picked up $18 million in its third weekend of release. It has made $175.9 million in North America and another $370 million overseas, bringing its total take to $546.2 million globally.

Obsession, the new horror film from first time feature director Curry Barker, made $16 million in its opening weekend, which was good enough for third place. With a strong A- Cinemascore, excellent word of mouth and great critical reviews, the extremely low-budget film acquired by Focus Features for $14 million looks to have great legs.

Fourth place belonged to Mortal Kombat II, which fell a dramatic 65% from opening weekend to bring in $13.4 million. It's made $62.2 million in North America and $101 million worldwide on an $80 million budget.

The Sheep Detectives took the fifth spot, making $9.3 million in its second weekend. It fell only 38% from its first weekend, and has made $29.6 million domestically and $58.7 million globally.

The new Guy Ritchie film In the Gray came in 9th at the box office with a $3 million take and a B Cinemascore, and generally terrible critic reviews. This is well below average for his films.

Another new release this week, Is God Is, came in 10th with a $2.2 million haul, a B+ Cinemascore and great critic reviews.

In a bit of bad news, the concert film Billie Eilish – Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D) fell a startling 88% from its $7.5 million opening last weekend to bring in only $800,000 this weekend, good for 13th place.

Seductive Sunday Salon: Dead Can Dance - Mon Amour Sauvage




Good Morning, ONTD. Life goes through cycles, and everything old is just recycled and back in a new way. Dead Can Dance is back again with old vocals and a new way of distribution; instead of releasing an album, they are releasing one song a month on Bandcamp. This is a song devoted to Mother Nature; a love song from the Old Gods to celebrate her works, and the transition of spring into summer. The grass beneath your feet, the sounds of bird song, and the air filled with butterflies. Listen to your heart beating like a drum as warm rain washes over you, and vibe to the lyrics in this future classic.

  • Hey, did you know that James Charles is a douchebag? Last week, he mocked a woman woman who was laid off from Spirit Airlines who sent him a link to her GoFundMe. Charles called her a "lazy piece of shit," and snapped, "You know what else would help you? Getting another job." He also said, "You're entitled because you think that influencers and celebrities should fund your life for you." Viewers were rightly pissed at him, since, you know, viewers fund the lives of influencers and celebrities. He apologized, but the damage has been done. The Spirit employee in question has published a private apology that James Charles DM'd her.

  • Would you press the red button, or the blue button? (Apparently this blew up two weeks ago and I completely missed it. Oh, well.)

    Take Out the Trash Day: Love is Dad


    Yesterday's trash day included 2 celebrity breakups. 1 we all expected and 1 we never thought about.

    Pete Davidson & Elsie Hewitt

    (oblig fuck TMZ. they were the only one w/the fracture in the middle which made me laugh)
    We all knew this was coming. Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt (I keep thinking this is Bono's daughter) have broken up 5mo after the birth of their child. Apparently they have no interest in reconciling. I sincerely hope the separation allows them to coparent responsibly for the best of their bebe.
