VIDEO : Blade Runner 2049 Disappoints, But Tops Box Office

This week's box office winner is a film 35 years in the making, but it still fell short of expectations despite positive reviews. Denis Villeneuve?s long-awaited Blade Runner sequel started off like a blockbuster in the making, but Blade Runner 2049 fell apart as the weekend progressed. The follow-up to Ridley Scott?s 1982 cyberpunk classic was the top film at the box office, but the $31.5 million it earned in U.S. theaters was well below the $45-55 million opening weekend that its strong Thursday night ?preview? screenings had pundits predicting.
