Weekend Box Office: 'Sully' Earns Heroic $12.2M Friday for Proje
cted $35M Debut
By: Admin Date: September 10, 2016, 7:50 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
The biographical drama marks one of director Clint Eastwood's
top openings, as well as a recent best for Tom Hanks; elsewhere,
'The Disappointments Room' is living up to its name after
earning a rare D CinemaScore.
Clint Eastwood's Sully is soaring mid-flight at the North
American box office, opening to $12.2 million Friday from 3,525
theaters for a $35 million weekend, according to projections.
Sully � which earned an A CinemaScore from audiences � heralds a
strong start to the fall season and is a win for all involved,
including Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow Pictures, which
partnered on the adult-driven fall film, starring Tom Hanks as
the real-life pilot who crash-landed a US Airways jet on the
Hudson River.
The biographical drama looks to mark one of the best nationwide
starts for Eastwood, save for American Sniper which debuted to a
stunning $107.2 million over the four-day Martin Luther King
holiday weekend in 2014, including $89.3 million for the three
days. In January 2008, Eastwood's box-office hit Gran Torino
grossed $29.5 million when expanding nationwide.
And Sully's opening looks to be Hanks' biggest since Sony's 2009
franchise installment Angels and Demons ($46.2 million). Similar
to films directed by Eastwood, Hanks' dramas don't generally
sport huge openings but can have strong legs. In Oct. 2015,
Bridge of Spies, helmed by Steven Spielberg and starring Hanks,
opened to $15.4 million on its way to becoming a solid
performer. In fall 2015, Hanks' Captain Phillips opened to $25.7
million.

'Sully': Telluride Review
Sully recounts the tale of US Airways Flight 1549, otherwise
known as the "Miracle on the Hudson." The plane, piloted by
Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger (Hanks) and First Officer
Jeffrey Skiles (Aaron Eckhart), was met with disaster minutes
after taking off from New York City's LaGuardia Airport on Jan.
15, 2009, when a flock of Canadian geese disabled both engines.
With no other option, Sully was forced to make a water landing
on the Hudson River. All 155 passengers and crew survived, with
Sully becoming an instant hero.
Sully, which premiered at the Telluride Film Festival over Labor
Day weekend, currently sports an 81 percent fresh rating on
Rotten Tomatoes.
Among the weekend's other new offerings, Sony/Screen Gems
thriller When the Bough Breaks, starring Morris Chestnut and
Regina Hall as a childless couple who hire a surrogate, grossed
an estimated $5.3 million from 2,246 theaters Friday for a solid
$14.6 million weekend and second-place finish.

Heading into the frame, Sony insiders predicted a $10
million-$12 million weekend, but box-office analysts thought
When the Bough Breaks could approach $20 million.On the same
weekend last year, Screen Gems' The Perfect Guy, also starring
Chestnut, debuted to $25.9 million.
Lionsgate is opening Belgian-French animated The Wild Life in
2,492 theaters. The film is pacing to earn a forgettable $2.8
million for the weekend (Lionsgate's exposure on the movie is
limited, since it's a distribution deal.) Wild Life, coming in
No. 8, earned a B- CInemaScore
Also debuting, albeit in fewer theaters, or roughly 1,554
locations, is Relativity Media's The Disappointments Room, which
is faring dismally for a possible $1.3 million weekend after
earning a D CinemaScore from audiences (D and F CinemaScores are
rare). The horror film, directed by D.J. Caruso and starring
Kate Beckinsale and Lucas Till, is the first title Relativity
has released since emerging from Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

I'm really neutral to the movie even if I never seen it, just
the public should really stay out of pupil's' , like Sully into
his private life like he was a celebrity even though he is a
public figure a little but for now he's just so well known and
does interviews on what happened tht day and now with his life.
