RISEN debuts in third with $11.5 million for Sony Pictures from 2,915 theatres. Its A- CinemaScore should help it in coming weeks as the Biblical Drama looks to carry its life into Easter. Critics gave it 58% on the Tomatometer.

THE WITCH debuts in fourth for A24/Elevation Pictures with $8.3 million from 2,046 theatres. Audiences didn’t respond too well with a C- CinemaScore, but Critics know best with an 88% score on the Tomatometer and a Twitter endorsement from King of Horror himself, Stephen King.

Rounding-out the Top Ten is HAIL, CAESAR! with $2.6 million for Universal Pictures.  Numerically coincidental, it has made $26 million to date in three weeks.

#FIRSTLOOK: DAKOTA JOHNSON + LESLIE MANN FLIRT WITH REPORTER ON “HOW TO BE SINGLE” JUNKET

On their Press Tour for HOW TO BE SINGLE, Dakota Johnson and Leslie Mann make the most of it in this new interview which quickly is going viral. Poor Chris Van Vliet of WSVN in Miami doesn’t quite get around to the actual interview with Johnson and Mann, but the interaction is out-of-this-world amazing! Imagine being told to unbutton your shirt and teased the entire time as they giggle and tear-up! Awkward, but but Van Vliet was a good sport about it right??

#GIVEAWAY: ENTER TO WIN ADVANCED PASSES TO SEE “HOW TO BE SINGLE”

Warner Bros. Pictures Canada + Mr. Will know you need a Girls’ Night Out! HOW TO BE SINGLE has been on our minds since we saw its Trailer over the Holidays and we want to give you a chance to see it first! We’ve got Advance Passes for you in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal (English and French), Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary, Ottawa and Halifax for Wednesday, February 10, 2016!

Synopsis:
There’s a right way to be single, a wrong way to be single, and then…there’s Alice. And Robin. Lucy. Meg. Tom. David. New York City is full of lonely hearts seeking the right match, be it a love connection, a hook-up, or something in the middle. And somewhere between the teasing texts and one-night stands, what these unmarrieds all have in common is the need to learn how to be single in a world filled with ever-evolving definitions of love. Sleeping around in the city that never sleeps was never so much fun.

“How to Be Single” stars Dakota Johnson (“Fifty Shades of Grey”), Rebel Wilson (“Pitch Perfect”), Damon Wayans, Jr. (“Let’s Be Cops”), Anders Holm (“Neighbors,” upcoming “The Intern”), Alison Brie (“Get Hard”), Nicholas Braun (“The Perks of Being a Wallflower”), Jake Lacy (HBO’s “Girls”), with Jason Mantzoukas (“Neighbors,” TV’s “The League”) and Leslie Mann (“This is 40,”).

Il y a une bonne façon de vivre son célibat, une mauvaise façon… et puis il y a Alice, Robin, Lucy, Meg, Tom, David. New York regorge d’âmes esseulées en quête d’un partenaire, que ce soit pour l’amour, un flirt ou quelque chose entre les deux. Et entre les textos enjôleurs et les aventures d’un soir, ces personnes ont tous en commun le besoin de comprendre comment vivre leur célibat dans un monde où les définitions de l’amour abondent et évoluent sans cesse. Passer de folles nuits dans la ville qui ne dort jamais n’a jamais été aussi amusant.

« Célibataire : mode d’emploi » met en vedette Dakota Johnson (« Cinquante nuances de Grey »), Rebel Wilson (« La Note parfaite »), Damon Wayans, Jr. (« Soyons flics »), Anders Holm (« Les Voisins » et « Le Stagiaire »), Alison Brie (« Prison 101 »), Nicholas Braun (« Le Monde de Charlie »), Jake Lacy (« Girls » de HBO), avec Jason Mantzoukas (« Les Voisins », l’émission « The League ») et Leslie Mann (« 40 ans : Mode d’emploi »).
