It was a chill weekend for moviegoers,Watch Sleeping Beauty Online with an overall light turnout propelling The Accountantand Kevin Hart: What Now?to the top of the box office charts.
It's a rare one-two punch for R-rated movies leading the weekend. Domestic estimates for The Accountantcurrently stand at $24.7 million while Kevin Hartis at $12 million.
SEE ALSO: Ben Affleck's 'The Accountant' adds up despite convoluted plotThe latter's #2 position may change once the final tallies come in on Monday, as #3 placeholder The Girl on the Trainis just $10,000 behind in current estimates. But that, too, is an R-rated feature. It's looking like a top-three lockdown for adults-only entertainment.
Just don't make the mistake of thinking this was a strong weekend at the box office.
The Accountant's estimated total leaves it well outside the top 100 R-rated openings of all time. Earlier in 2016, Deadpoolstaked a dominant claim on that list's #1 spot, with a $132.4 million start soaring past the $91.8 million The Matrix Reloadedearned in 2003.
The rest of the top five is filled out by repeat business for Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children($8.9 million estimated) and Deepwater Horizon($6.4 million estimated).
The former is looking like a win for director Tim Burton, with north of $65 million in domestic ticket sales and close to double that in overseas sales, for a cumulative total of $165.2 million.
The latter's based-on-truth story is a more debatable success, with its estimated $77 million at the worldwide box office falling short of a reported $110 million budget.
Expect Hollywood's box office fortunes to improve soon. Tom Cruise returns next week for a sequel to Jack Reacher-- a movie that didn't explode immediately in 2012 but eventually amassed $212 million worldwide.
Tom Hanks leads Infernothe week after, continuing his successful run with the Robert Langdon/Da Vinci Codeseries. Angels & Demons, the 2009 predecessor to Inferno, grossed $486 million worldwide.
