‘Angel Has Fallen’ rules US box office
The film stars Gerard Butler and Morgan Freeman in lead roles
Lionsgate and Millennium’s ‘Angel Has Fallen’ ruled the box office during an expectedly quiet Labor Day weekend. The third entry in the action franchise generated $11.5 million (Dh42.23 million) over the weekend and should close out the holiday with $14.4 million.
Without any new nationwide offerings from a major Hollywood studio, those ticket sales were enough to maintain first place on domestic box office charts. After two weekends in theatres, the Gerard Butler-led ‘Angel Has Fallen’ has earned $43.6 million.
Blumhouse Tilt and OTL took on the last weekend of summer, closing out popcorn season with ‘Don’t Let Go’.
The supernatural thriller debuted with $2.4 million from 920 North American theaters and is expected to finish the holiday weekend with $3 million.
