It was a truly outrageous weekend at the box office, and not in a good way.
The pack of new releases proved to be all out duds, some worse than others, leaving room for holdovers The Martian and Goosebumps to stay in the top spots with $15.9 and $15.5m, respectively according to Rentrak estimates on Sunday. The Steven Spielberg/Tom Hanks Cold War thriller Bridge of Spies also held nicely in third place with $11 million.
Vin Diesel's The Last Witch Hunter tanked with $10.8m, killing any hopes of a new franchise. The Lionsgate film opened in fourth place and cost a reported $70m to produce. This is the latest disappointment for Diesel who can't seem to find consistent success outside of the Fast & Furious franchise.
