Rampage Tops Weekend Box Office, but A Quiet Place is Making the Most Noise

It was nearly an upset at the weekend box office, but Warner Bros. and New Line's Rampage was able to hold off a strong second weekend from Paramount's hit horror/thriller A Quiet Place to take the weekend's #1 spot.

But that doesn't discount the fact A Quiet Place is less than $400k shy of topping $100 million domestically after just ten days in release. Additionally, Blumhouse's Truth or Dare delivered a solid, third place debut.







With an estimated $34.5 million, Warner Bros. and New Line's Rampage delivered a first place finish from 4,101 theaters. Looking ahead, Rampage really only has one more weekend to have much of an impact at the box office with Avengers: Infinity War debuting in two weeks.

Internationally the film brought in an estimated $114.1 million from 61 markets this weekend. Audiences gave the film an "A-" CinemaScore.







With an estimated $32.6 million in its sophomore frame, Paramount's A Quiet Place finished the weekend with a domestic cume just shy of $100 million after just ten days in release.

Internationally, A Quiet Place added an estimated $22.3 million from 55 markets for an overseas cume reaching $51.7 million and a global tally that now stands at $151.3 million.







In third is Universal and Blumhouse's Truth or Dare, delivering an estimated $19 million from 3,029 locations. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of this opening is that it did it alongside A Quiet Place as both films enjoyed solid weekend performances.

Opening weekend audiences gave the film a "B-" CinemaScore. Internationally, Truth or Dare debuted in seven markets and brought in an estimated $2.6 million.







Warner Bros. release of Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One finished in fourth with an estimated $11.2 million.

Internationally, the film added an estimated $33.8 million this weekend in 65 overseas markets taking the international cume to $360.2 million for a worldwide gross just shy of $475 million with the film opening in Japan this coming weekend.







Rounding out the top five is Universal's R-rated comedy Blockers, which dropped a somewhat surprising 50% in its second weekend for an estimated $10.3 million, pushing the film's domestic cume just shy of $37 million.

Internationally, the film added six more markets this weekend where it brought in an estimated $3.9 million from 21 overall territories for an international cume totaling $16 million.







Elsewhere in the top ten, Fox Searchlight's nationwide expansion of Wes Anderson's Isle of Dogs delivered an estimated $5 million from 1,939 theaters (+1,385) for a domestic cume totaling $18.4 million.

The film also expanded internationally where it is now playing in six markets, debuting in France with an estimated $821k and Australia with $713k. Overall the international cume now stands at $8.7 million with releases in China and Spain set for next weekend.







Outside the top ten, Bleecker Street's release of Beirut brought in an estimated $1.65 million from 755 locations this weekend for a domestic cume totaling just over $2 million after debuting on Wednesday.

In limited release, Sony Classics's The Rider brought in an estimated $45,268 from three theaters ($15,089 PTA).

Lastly, this weekend saw Walt Disney Studios cross $2 billion at the global box office with the release of Avengers: Infinity War right around the corner as the studio will continue to expand on its global box office dominance.
