US Box Office Results: January 9 - 11, 2015
Audiences came back out for the third installment of the TAKEN franchise, this time taking over $40 million, in its first weekend. Compared to the second film, TAKEN 3 is down about 20%, or just over nine million dollars. That 2012 film grossed just shy of $140 million, domestically. For Liam Neeson, TAKEN 3 more than tripled the opening take by his last film, A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES, released back in September.Now, in week three, is the bio pic, SELMA. I hauled in $11 million, to take the #2 spot of the weekend. Considering it only cost $20 to make the film, SELMA should be a rather profitable film for Paramount.
The rest of the chart are returning films, the oldest being THE HUNGER GAMES, now in its 10th weekend. The third in the series has now grossed just shy of $330 million, domestically, and a toal of $700 million, worldwide.
