WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: 'Suicide Squad' Tops Box Office for Second Weekend


As expected, “ Suicide Squad ” (Warner) led the box office pack for a second weekend, taking in an estimated $43.8 million, for a new domestic total of $222.9 million.
“ Sausage Party ” (Sony) collected about $33.6 million, beating the prerelease expectations of some box office analysts and proving once again that audiences respond to original concepts. “Sausage Party,” with character voices provided by Seth Rogen and Kristen Wiig, was also relatively cheap: Sony and Annapurna Pictures split the $19 million in production expenses.
“ Pete’s Dragon ” (Disney) was third. Ticket sales totaled $21.5 million, a bit less than
anticipated. This slow-paced remake charmed most critics , but its crowd appeal was limited.
Disney said on Sunday that 33 percent of the opening-weekend audience was under the age of 12. “Pete’s Dragon” cost about $65 million to make.
