The first weekend into October has led to some shocking shakeups at the box office.<\/p>\n
The re-release of \u201cAvengers: Endgame\u201d has reclaimed the title of highest-grossing movie in box office history from \u201cAvatar,\u201d thanks to a recent re-release.<\/p>\n
The margins are tight though. According to Variety<\/a>, \u201cEndgame\u201d has grossed $2.95 billion, just above \u201cAvatar\u2019s\u201d $2.93 billion.<\/p>\n The two films have gone back and forth for the title since their respective releases.<\/p>\n \u201cEndgame\u201d returned to theaters for a limited run on Sept. 25, with additional footage and deeper look at the upcoming \u201cAvenges: Doomsday,\u201d releasing December 18.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Tom Cruise\u2019s highly anticipated \u201cDigger\u201d has proven to be a box office flop.<\/p>\n According to Variety<\/a>, the film took in only $8 million at the box office in North America and just $20 million globally.<\/p>\n The outlet reports that the film was expected to make at least $12 million to $15 million, with experts noting it would have had to clear $40 million to justify its reported $160 million to $180 million budget.<\/p>\n With the low numbers, \u201cDigger\u201d is on track to be one of the biggest flops of the year if not all time.<\/p>\n Reviews for the movie weren\u2019t great, with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 51% and a CinemaScore of C+ (CinemaScore polls audiences as they exit the theater for a real-time reaction).<\/p>\n Topping the box office this weekend was the Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson erotic thriller \u201cVerity,\u201d adapted from the novel by Colleen Hoover. \u201cVerity\u201d took in $32 million domestically.<\/p>\n In second place was \u201cResident Evil,\u201d followed by the Brad Pitt film \u201cHeart of the Beast,\u201d with Robert Pattinson\u2019s Chris Hansen drama \u201cPrimetime\u201d coming in fourth place.<\/p>\n Follow us on Instagram @WeArePauseRewind<\/a> for all your pop culture obsessions.<\/p>\n
