US Box Office Results: October 7 - 9, 2016

The suspense thriller, THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN, tops this weekend's box office, grabbing $24.7 million in its first three days of release. That is about half of the movie's production budget and should easily bring in over $70 million during its theatrical run, domestically.

Last week's #1 movie, MISS PEREGRINE'S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN, dropped to second place, collecting about half of what it did last weekend. Its 10-day total is now $51 million, still less than half of its $110 production budget. The movie is a bigger hit internationally, as it is nearing $100 million outside of the USA.

The Tom Hank's movie, SULLY, has crossed the $100 million mark, after five weeks of release. the drama has a total domestic take of $113.5 million, closing in on doubling its production cost.
