Dunkirk beat expectations over the weekend with a $50.5M debut:
Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk became the first non-franchise film to top the weekend box office this summer and the first since March of this year as it delivered over $50 million this weekend. Additionally, Universal’s Girls Trip played strong, finishing in second position, while STX’s release of EuropaCorp’s Valerian failed to take off. Also, for a second weekend in a row, we have another franchise title dipping over 60% in its second weekend in release.
I saw the film on IMAX yesterday and loved it. Heart pounding and relentless.
