‘Revenant’ Storms To Top Of The Box Office

revenantThe Revenant rode to the top of the box-office chart in its third weekend in wide release — the first time the movie has come in No. 1. The frontier epic, starring DiCaprio, grossed $16 million from 3,711 theaters for a domestic total of $119.2 million for Fox and New Regency. The film overcame numerous theater closings due to winter storm Jonas, which buried a large swath of the Northeast corridor in two feet of snow or more. Three hundred to 400 theaters on the East Coast and in North Carolina were forced to close.

The top 12 films of the weekend, as of Sunday, January 24, are as follows:
