Box Office Numbers: The Butler couldn’t do it again

0

Lee Daniels’ The Butler reigned supreme for two weeks as it rode the wave of Oprah and Oscar pandemonium. Thought it was going to rule another week, but I suppose another sort of pandemonium (or FANdemonium) was strong enough to dethrone it. 

Morgan Spurlock’s (that one fat guy) One Direction: This is Us took the top spot this weekend, earning over 17 million while Lee Daniels’ The Butler still made a respectable 14 million as it continues to ride word of mouth and pre-Oscar season hype. Other notables include We’re The Millers, which remains in the third spot, and The World’s End dropped more which is sad, but expected. 

Oh and f**king Planes is still making money. F**k Planes.  

After the jump, you’ll nab the full list of box office performances for the past weekend.
