The 12 million US dollars low-budget thriller “Perfect Guy“, which starred Sanaa Lathan, Michael Ealy and Morris Chestnut significantly exceeded expectations with 26.7 million dollars in three-day weekend ticket sales. The movie follows Lathan’s character as she becomes entrapped in an intense love triangle that turns unsafe . Recently released thriller, “The ideal Guy” has been outdoing the horror “The Visit”, somehow with a very narrow margin.



“It’s also Shyamalan’s best film in years and should be celebrated as such”, IGN’s Lucy O’Brien said. This is the eighth profitable $ 20-plus million opening for producer Jason Blum’s Blumhouse Productions, which focuses on micro-price range horror movies together with the “Insidious” and “Paranormal Activity” collection.

The nations went rogue against Terminator as Mission: Impossible 5 retook the #1 global spot with $50.5 million ($45.2 million from China alone).

Robert Redford and Nick Nolte’s A Walk in the Woods was down one spot to #4 in its second weekend with $4.6 million.

Straight Outta Compton has now earned $155,712,600 at the domestic box office, and has a worldwide box office total of $180,712,600, having been in theaters for 31 days. Falling 47% to an estimated $2.9M was No Escape, which has taken in just $24.2M for The Weinstein Co. Not much else to say here, Rogue Nation continues to show staying power and is still on track for $195 million, maybe even more. That pushes its cumulative gross to nearly $20 million.

The studio courted African-American audiences with a big promo push at the BET Awards and a trailer to appear alongside Straight Outta Compton that was wordless save for Nina Simone singing I Put A Spell On You.

Dropping from fourth to eighth in the charts was action thriller “Transporter: Refueled”, by French director Camille Delamarre, which made $2.8 million during its second weekend. The budget was $5 million.

While Sony’s cheap faith-based film War Room was a hit, the independent 90 Minutes In Heaven failed to gain traction in a limited debut.

Also opening this weekend in North America was IDP/Samuel Goldwyn’s Christian drama 90 Minutes in Heaven, starring Hayden Christensen and Kate Bosworth. The film has now grossed $19.9 million and should be able to finish with around $30 million to $35 million, a modest success based on the $10 million budget.

Oren Moverman’s homeless drama, Time Out of Mind, starring Richard Gere, and Sleeping With Other People, starring Jason Sudeikis and Alison Brie.
