Weekend Box Office: Deadpool Wins Again, Risen Tops New Releases

Deadpool is still the top movie of 2016, as it easily sold more tickets that any other movie in theaters this weekend. Two of the weekend's three new wide releases did respectable business, however, so the talk of the weekend wasn't all about the R-rated comic book movie.

Deadpool raked in another $55 million over the weekend, bringing its two-week domestic total earnings to $235 million. This weekend's take was down nearly 60 percent from the record-breaking haul the movie managed on its opening weekend, but it was still a strong performer.

Of the three new movies of the week, the faith-based historical drama Risen did the best, earning $11.8 million. The movie had a modest production budget, so that was not a bad number. It wasn't enough to take second place in the box office competition, though. That honor went to Kung Fu Panda 3, which earned $12.5 million in its fourth weekend of release.

The Witch came in a solid fourth place with $8.7 million. That's an especially impressive number given that its distributor spent very little money on marketing. The week's final new release, the Jesse Owens biopic Race, managed to grab sixth place behind last week's How To Be Single.
