Box Office: ‘Glass’ dominates MLK Week
HOLLYWOOD – “Glass” topped box office charts this week collecting $40 million over the weekend.

If estimates hold, “Glass” will come in behind “American Sniper” and “Ride Along” as the third-best showing for both January and the MLK holiday weekend.

“Glass” saw James McAvoy reprise his role from “Split,” while Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson returned as their characters from “Unbreakable.”

“The Upside’s” weekend haul was enough to secure second place, while Warner Bros.’ “Aquaman” came in at No. 3.

DC’s latest superhero adventure, starring Jason Momoa as the Atlantean king, crossed a major milestone in North America. “Aquaman” has now surpassed $300 million in ticket sales.

A surprise contender, Japanese anime film “Dragon Ball Super: Broly,” could tie “Aquaman” for third place.

Meanwhile, two Sony titles are squaring off for fifth place. “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” and “A Dog’s Way Home”.

Even with a boost from “Glass,” the domestic box office is still behind 2018’s numbers by over 13%, according to Comscore. With highly anticipated releases like “Avengers: Endgame,” “Lion King,” and “It: Chapter 2” still to come, box office watchers don’t anticipate a decline for too long.
