Instead of taking the weekend by $31 million, Shane Black’s “The Predator” took it with only $24.6 million, beating out “The Nun” in its second weekend, which added another $18.2 million, bringing its domestic cume to $85.1 million, a target “The Predator” will be more than lucky to attain. Paul Feig’s newcomer “A Simple Favor,” starring Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively, clocked in at $16 million, making it Number Three, while “White Boy Rick,” with a turn from Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey, landed at Number Four with $8.8 million. Rounding out the Top Five was not last week’s newcomer “Peppermint,” but instead, “Crazy Rich Asians” continues to dominate the box office, beating it out to take Number Five with $8.6 million. Just making the Top Ten was newcomer “Unbroken: Path To Redemption,” the sequel to Angelina Jolie’s Oscar nominated “Unbroken,” except without any of the returning players, making $2.2 million, slightly below the $3 million mark that it was projected to earn. In a surprise debut, the Hindi film “Manmarziyaan” earned a few hundred thousand dollars, allowing it to land in the Top 25.
