The Girl on the Train. eOne's The Girl on the Train has debuted on top of the Aussie box office, ringing up just under $4 million from on 272 screens; an average of $14,682.
Behind it was last week's number one, Fox's Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. The latest Tim Burton outing took $2.1 million from 263 screens over its second weekend - a fall of 47 per cent - and has made $8 million overall.
Roadshow's disaster title Deepwater Horizon has bowed on 239 screens to take $1.7 million.
Now in its fifth week, Universal's The Secret Life of Pets is still on 316 screens. However, it tumbled 54 per cent this week, ringing up $1.5 million. The animated family comedy has made a whopping $27.7 million so far.

Welcome back to the Weekend Warrior, your weekly look at the new movies hitting theaters this weekend, as well as other cool events and things to check out.
This Past Weekend:
Yikes. What a terrible weekend we just had, not only for the new movies released but also for the Weekend Warrior’s predictions. Clint Eastwood and Tom Hanks’ Sully won its second weekend in a row with just under $22 million, but as far as the new movies, neither Lionsgate’s Blair Witch nor Universal’s Bridget Jones’s Baby did very well, putting the last nail in the coffin (hopefully) for sequels/remakes trying to play upon nostalgia that just isn’t there. (Good luck to the Rings movie opening next month!) Blair Witch ended up with $9.6 million to take second place and both Bridget Jones’s Baby and Oliver Stone’s Snowden ended up with around $8 million, so...

As expected, Clint Eastwood's Sully enjoyed a second straight weekend atop the box office and it wasn't much of a competition. Not one of the weekend's three new widest releases managed to even top ten million as Blair Witch and Bridget Jones's Baby fell well short of expectations and Open Road's Snowden pretty much delivered as expected depending on whom you asked. Overall, the weekend's top twelve was down 11.6% compared to last week and down 24.3% compared to last year with the top twelve generating an estimated $74.6 million, just $136k shy of the worst weekend of the year so far. With an estimated $22 million, Sully dropped only 37% in its second weekend as the film's domestic cume now stands at $70.5 million, just $1.8 million shy of the entire run of Tom Hanks' Bridge of Spies, which went on to earn six Oscar nominations last year including a win for Supporting Actor.

The beginning was modest, but a beginning it was for what the makers of Hillsong–Let Hope Rise hope will be a new kind of cinema: They call it "theatrical worship." The documentary, about Australia's Hillsong church and Hillsong United soft rock group, opened Friday in about 800 theaters. Ticket sales appeared pointed toward about $2 million for the weekend—not a blockbuster, even on the faith circuit. But Jonathan Bock of Grace Hill Media, who is a producer of the…...

If you somehow wandered into Hillsong: Let Hope Rise with absolutely no idea what Christianity was, you’d probably walk away thinking the whole thing sounds great. This Jesus guy—whoever he is—is equal parts passionate lover and protective father figure, and his followers are all very nice people who look like they’re on their way to a Janelle Monae concert. Except that they’re not on their way to a Janelle Monae concert. That’s “secular” music. No, the only concerts they go to are their own, and while Jesus may inspire transcendent spiritual love that hits the members of his flock like a beam of pure, white light, he can’t seem to inspire anything but midtempo pop with the musical consistency of vanilla pudding.
But the odds of anyone wandering blindly into Hillsong: Let Hope Rise are, frankly, low. The movie’s website encourages youth...

Lionsgate's Blair Witch arrives seventeen years after the original film and it's hoping to become the third horror film to top the weekend box office this year. Standing in its way is last weekend's champ, Sully, which has delivered record results over the past few days and is looking at a $20+ million second weekend. Other new wide releases include Universal's Bridget Jones's Baby, arriving twelve years after the last film, and Open Road's Snowden. Meanwhile, Pure Flix debuts the documentary Hillsong: Let Hope Rise in over 800 theaters and Freestyle releases Mr. Church starring Eddie Murphy into approximately 300 theaters. Overall, while there could be a fight at the top with a couple of $20+ million weekends, this weekend's top twelve looks like it will be down from last year by about 10-11% with the top twelve generating around $89 million compared to $98.6 million over the same weekend last year. 2016 has already seen 11 films...

This Past Weekend:
Tom Hanks and Clint Eastwood’s real-life drama about airline pilot Sully (Warner Bros.) far surpassed all expectations, making nearly $10 million more than my prediction with an opening weekend of $35 million in 3,525 theaters, also making it one of the biggest openings for a movie opening the weekend after Labor Day. The Screen Gems thriller When the Bough Breaks disappointed compared to some of their similar releases, taking second place with around where we predicted with around $14 million. The lower profile animated film The Wild Life (Summit/Lionsgate) did end up in fifth place behind Don’t Breathe and Suicide Squad, but with a measly $3.3 million in 2,493 theaters.
