Box Office: September 29-October 1, 2017

It was Number One at the box office over the weekend with $17.3 Million for $291 Million so far. World-wide, It has made $553.1 Million. American Made premiered in Second Place with $17 Million. This was a big surprise. Many, including I, expected American Made to be Number One this weekend but it seems that the clown will not be denied. Kingsman: The Golden Circle was Third with $17 Million. The LEGO Ninjago Movie was Fourth with $12 Million. Flatliners premiered in Fifth Place with $6.7 Million. Battle of the Sexes, American Assassin, Home Again, Til Death Do Us Part (which premiered this weekend), and Mother! rounded out the Top Ten respectively.
