Gone Girl’s box office has officially entered phenom status with its take domestically, $145 million and globally, $300 million. Phil Contrino at Box-office.com said it would end up with around $160 domestically but I think it will surge past that.
Big Hero 6, as predicted by Boxoffice.com and Boxofficemojo.com, overtook Interstellar – it was in more theaters and it’s three hours long. But Interstellar ties Gravity’s international opening with $80 million and should surge with global box office as well as domestic. Big Hero 6 is off to a great start as well. Nightcrawler appears to be generating good word of mouth for a tidy box office take. But to me the real surprise, and it will come as no surprise to you, is Gone Girl. She’s got legs. She knows how to use them…
