Box Office Report: Let’s Be Cops is no match for Interstellar

Despite an impressive opening by Lets Be Cops – one to the tune of $1.6 million – it just didn’t pack enough of a punch to usurp top spot. Interstellar retains its position at number 1 pulling in another $3.7 million. Christopher Nolan’s spectacle has received tremendous reviews, lauded for its ambitious storytelling and sheer scope. It’s going to take a lot to budge.
David Finchner’s Gone Girl continues to be the success story of the year, the intense drama refusing to move from the top 3.

Aside from Lets Be Cops, the only new release this week to make a dent in the box office is My Old Lady. Raking in almost half a million in its opening week, the British/American comedy stands tall at number 5.

Remember how I mentioned Interstellar needing a lot to budge? Enter The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1. The 3rd film in the ever popular series is released this week and The Hunger Games is no stranger to the box office. The first film alone made $691 million worldwide.

It’s a slow week other wise. New Zealand drama The Dark Horse hit theaters as does David Cronenberg’s Maps to the Stars.
