Tim Burton’s kid-friendly fantasy adventure Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children opened to $28.5 million from 3,522 theaters at the North American box office over the weekend, blowing past Pete Berg’s oil rig disaster pic Deepwater Horizon and easily landing at No. 1. Starring Mark Wahlberg, Deepwater Horizon placed No. 2 with $20.6 million from 3,259 cinemas. Both films did better than prerelease tracking suggested but aren’t cheap propositions, so they will need to be strong players on the global stage.
The top 12 films of the weekend, as of Sunday, October 2, are as follows:
