Mark Wahlberg Gets Oiled Up; Co-starring Kate Hudson as Laura Linney as Wife on Phone.

1. Deepwater Horizon - $23m / $23m / $75m
2. Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children - $20m / $20m / $65m
3. The Magnificent Seven - $19.5m / $66.5m / $115m
4. Storks - $13m / $38.5m / $75m
5. Masterminds - $8m / $8m / $22m
6. Sully - $7.5m / $104.5m / $125m
7. Queen of Katwe - $4.5m / $5m / $15m
8. Bridget Jones's Baby - $2.5m / $21m / $27m
**Snowden - $2.5m / $19.5m / $25m
10. Don't Breathe - $2m / $84.5m / $89m

These openers are tough to predict. Peregrine is tracking the best, but Deepwater's ads have come on strong over the past week. Berg/Wahlberg's Lone Survivor also exploded a couple years ago. Masterminds has been delayed over a year because of Relativity's troubles, though I've seen countless ads for it. Queen of Katwe was a total non-starter last week in limited, and probably won't fare better as it goes wide. Not sure what happened to all those Lupita-stans from a few years ago who bitched and moaned Hollywood wasn't giving her roles. That seems to be a trend at the box-office this year: go see crap, then complain about it instead of actually supporting the good, original films that are out there.
