#BOXOFFICE: “OLD” IS FRESH AT #1 IN DEBUT

It’s been a while, but with theatres open again in cities across Canada, we thought we’d bring these updates back! While theatres are open, we’re seeing a little life coming back at the Box Office with several new releases out, but definitely still off the mark of traditional Summer numbers.

OLD takes top spot at the Box Office. The latest Horror-Thriller from M. Night Shyalamalan rakes-in $16.5 million from 3,355 theatres across North America for Universal Pictures. Not bad considering the Film was made for $18 million. The divisive flick gets 52% on the Tomatometer at Rotten Tomatoes.

SPACE JAM: A NEW LEGACY comes in fourth with $9.5 million from 4,002 theatres for Warner Bros. Its two week total is $51.3 million.

F9 is in fifth spot with $4.7 million from 2,850 theatres for Universal Pictures. Its five week run has brought in a total $163.3 million.

ESCAPE ROOM: TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS in its second week out, gets $3.2 million from 2,815 theatres for Sony Pictures, a tally to date of about $15 million.
