Universal’s The Boss took in $1.24 million on Thursday to lead the daily box office for a final time. The Melissa McCarthy led R-rated comedy was down a sharp 12 percent from Wednesday, as holdovers in general were clearly affected by the Thursday evening starts of both Disney’s The Jungle Book and Warner’s Barbershop: The Next Cut. The Boss was the week’s top film with a stronger than expected seven-day start of $30.18 million. That was 26 percent below the $40.94 million seven-day start of last year’s Spy (which had the added advantage of stronger early summer midweek grosses).
Warner’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice held steady in second place with $1.10 million. The blockbuster 3D superhero film starring Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill also declined 12 percent from Wednesday and was down a very sharp 60 percent from last Thursday. Batman v Superman placed in second for the week with $29.05 million. The film was down 55 percent from the previous frame and has grossed $302.30 million through three weeks of release.
Disney’s Zootopia took in $0.669 million to remain in third place. The blockbuster 3D computer animated film decreased 8 percent from Wednesday and a sharp 58 percent from last Thursday. Zootopia took third place this week with $17.58 million. That represented a 32 percent decline from the previous frame and brings the film to the brink of the $300 million domestic mark with a six-week total of $299.24 million.
Universal’s My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 continued to claim fourth with $0.448 million. The PG-13 rated comedy sequel was down a slim 3 percent from Wednesday and down 47 percent from last Thursday. My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 placed in fourth for the week with $8.50 million. The film was down 43 percent from the previous week and has grossed a healthy $48.84 million in three weeks.
Hardcore Henry rounded out its underwhelming first week of release with a fifth place take of $0.270 million on Thursday. The low-budget action film from STX Entertainment was down a troubling 18 percent from Wednesday’s performance. Hardcore Henry took fifth place for the week with a softer than expected seven-day start of $6.67 million.
