The film has brought in $51.7 million to date. “Everest,” meanwhile, landed in fourth rabbit. She follows him down the rabbit hole to a wild anime world filled with maddening characters. But here, the tea party devolves into a food fight, then shifts to slow-motion, then reverses. The queen is obsessed with jan ken po, instead of croquet, and big cartoon emoticons and thought bubbles float overhead like the pages of a mad manga comic book come to life.

Based on the releasing pattern we had for the movie, we’re kind of blazing a new trail. “You can call it an experiment if you will,” said Nick Carpou, who heads Universal’s domestic distribution. “When you add the two weekends together and the midweeks in between, sitting here at $23 million feels really good.” Dergarabedian said that perhaps the competition over the same audience is the reason for the film’s soft weekend. “It’s really crowded out there,” Dergarabedian said. Both “Black Mass,” in fifth place with $11.5 million, and “Everest” have been pulling in predominantly male audiences. The well-reviewed border drama “Sicario” also is dividing audience attentions. It cracked the top 10 with $1.8 million from only 59 theaters. Hope isn’t lost for “Everest,” though. Internationally, it has earned $73.7 million to date. Also, with a solid A CinemaScore, word of mouth should be strong in the coming weeks, despite the direct competition of next week’s “The Walk,” another vertiginous event film that will take over IMAX screens. The following are estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Rentrak. Where available, the latest international numbers for Friday through Sunday also are included. 1. “Hotel Transylvania 2,” $47.5 million ($29.2 million international). 2. “The Intern,” $18.2 million ($11.8 million international). 3. “Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials,” $14 million ($28.4 million international). 4. “Everest,” $13.1 million ($33.8 million international). 5. “Black Mass,” $11.5 million. 6. “The Visit,” $6.7 million ($5 million international). 7. “The Perfect Guy,” $4.8 million. 8. “War Room,” $4.3 million ($2.1 million international). 9. “The Green Inferno,” $3.5 million ($400K international). 10. “Sicario,” $1.8 million ($3.5 million international).
