The Star<\/b><\/i> fell out of the top ten in its fifth week at the box office.<\/p>\n

The animated film \u2014 which tells the story of the first Christmas from the animals\u2019 point of view \u2014 lost over a third of its theatres this week<\/a> and saw its weekly revenue slide to slightly less than half of what the film made last week. This week, The Star<\/i> landed in 11th place with an estimated $1.8 million between Friday and Sunday.<\/p>\n

Many of the theatres that dropped The Star<\/i> were presumably making room for Star Wars: The Last Jedi<\/b><\/i>, which earned an estimated $220 million between Thursday and Sunday nights \u2014 the second-biggest domestic opening of all time, behind the $247 million that Star Wars: The Force Awakens<\/i> earned in its first weekend two years ago.<\/p>\n

But some of those theatres may also have been making room for another animated film, Ferdinand<\/i><\/b>, which, despite ranking second for the weekend with an estimated $13.3 million, had the weakest opening of any film produced by Fox \/ Blue Sky<\/a> (their previous worst start was the $21.4 million that Ice Age: Collision Course<\/i> opened to last year).<\/p>\n

It is highly doubtful that The Star<\/i> will return to the top ten. The box office will become a lot more competitive over the next eight days as six new movies open in wide release, and after that the Christmas season will be over and The Star<\/i> will lose its seasonal hook.<\/p>\n

But until then, the theatres will be busy and the Christmas season will be in full swing, so The Star<\/i> should be able to rake in a little extra money over the next two weeks.<\/p>\n

Among \u201cfaith-based<\/a>\u201d films, The Star<\/i> had the eighth- to tenth-best first<\/a>, second<\/a>, third<\/a> and fourth<\/a> weekends. This week, it had the tenth-best fifth weekend:<\/p>\n

            1. The foreign-gross figures at Box Office Mojo are incomplete and sometimes out of date. In some cases, a movie\u2019s summary page will list no foreign grosses at all, but clicking on the \u201cforeign\u201d button will produce a list of grosses from individual countries. And sometimes, when a film does have a figure that sums up the film\u2019s foreign grosses, that figure is less up-to-date than the information for the individual countries. So, I have clicked on the \u201cforeign\u201d buttons for the top 50 \u201cfaith-based\u201d films and, when the \u201cforeign\u201d figure is older than the figures for the individual countries, I have tallied the foreign figures myself. But the stats could still be incomplete.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
