Keith Bernstein/Warner Bros. Tom Hanks in 'Sully' Elsewhere, surrogate thriller 'When the Bough Breaks' bows in second place with $15 million; 'The Disappointments Room,' Relativity's first release post-Chapter 11 bankruptcy, is DOA. Clint Eastwood's Sully opened to a heroic $35.5 million from 3,525 theaters at the North American box office for Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow Pictures, the top takeoff ever for an adult drama opening in September. Sully, also boasting the top debut for the first weekend following Labor Day, is Eastwood's second-best nationwide start behind American Sniper, which debuted to a stunning $107.2 million over the four-day Martin Luther King holiday weekend in 2014, not accounting for inflation.
