Three high-profile studio movies bombed this weekend, including Martin Scorsese’s Silence and Ben Affleck’s Live by Night, making it easier for Hidden Figures to take the top spot a week after squeaking out a last minute victory over Rogue One last week.
Hidden Figures — the biographical drama about three black female NASA mathematicians who helped put the first man into space — continues to hold at No. 1. From Fox 2000 and Chernin Entertainment, the movie won the box-office race last weekend with $22.8 million and is looking to pull in $25.3 million-plus over the four-day holiday frame. The pic, now available in 3,286 cinemas, earned $20.5 million for the three days and will finish the weekend with a domestic cume of $59.6 million.
