Leap! fails to leap at the box office

by Dacey | August 27, 2017 5:28 pm

Following low expectations and a weekend where a hurricane rocked much of Texas, Leap! opened to only $5 million this weekend, Box Office Mojo[1] is reporting. The good news for the film is it was easily the biggest of the newcomers this weekend, and also managed to make the top three. Still, it was one of the worst weekends the overall box office has seen in years, and doesn’t set very optimistic heights for next week’s Labor Day holiday. It didn’t help matters that Leap! didn’t fare very well with critics (even though Ballerina–which is the same movie–got reasonably good reviews), with a “freshness” rating of 37% over at Rotten Tomatoes. Final figures are due tomorrow.
