Movie

The Sandra Bullock-starrer and the chef movie all opened below expectation with around $3.4 million and $5 million respectively.

AceShowbiz - This weekend's newcomers performed undeniably weak at domestic box office as "Our Brand Is Crisis", "Burnt" and "Scout's Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse" all opened below expectations. Sandra Bullock's political drama launched to just $3.4 million from 2,202 theaters, marking the smallest domestic debut of the actress' career.

"The weekend results for 'Our Brand Is Crisis' are upsetting. The film was truly a collaboration between the studio and the filmmakers, and Sandy's performance is terrific in this film. We cherish our relationship with her. Ultimately, neither the concept of the story nor our campaign connected with moviegoers," Warner Bros. president of worldwide marketing and distribution Sue Kroll said.

Another movie flopping at this weekend's box office was "Burnt". The Bradley Cooper-starrer opened to approximately $5 million from 3,003 locations, placing number five at domestic box office. "Scout's Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse", which was expected to drum up the spirit of Halloween, didn't even crack the top 10. The comedy-horror flick earned around $1.8 million from 1,509 theaters to place twelfth in its debut weekend.

Meanwhile, the the top three spots were taken by same holdovers. "The Martian" once again topped the chart with an estimated $11.4 million for a domestic total of $182.8 million and a global total of $428.4 million in its fifth weekend. Horror comedy "Goosebumps" was in the second place, grossing approximately $10.2 million for a domestic total of $57 million.

Meanwhile, Steven Spielberg's "Bridge of Spies" still performed quite well in its third weekend, adding another $8.1 million for a domestic total of $45.2 million. Continuing to recount Dracula's tale, "Hotel Transylvania 2" grossed around $5.8 million in its sixth weekend.
