Mel Gibson's 'Flight Risk' opened at number one at the box office with $12 million, despite negative reviews and a poor CinemaScore. The weekend saw the release of several other films, including 'The Brutalist', which debuted in wide release after a successful limited run.
NEW YORK — Critics lambasted it and audiences didn’t grade it much better. But despite the turbulence, Mel Gibson’s “Flight Risk” managed to open No. 1 at the box office with a modest $12 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. On a quiet weekend, even for the typically frigid movie-going month of January, the top spot went to the Lionsgate thriller starring Mark Wahlberg as a pilot flying an Air Marshal and fugitive across Alaska.
9 million — a far from blockbuster sum but the best weekend yet for “The Brutalist.” The audience was downright minuscule for another best-picture nominee: RaMell Ross’ “Nickel Boys.” Innovatively shot almost entirely in first-person POV, the Amazon MGM Studios release gathered just $340,171 in 540 locations after expanding by 300 theaters. Coming off one of the lowest Martin Luther King Jr. weekends in years, no new releases made a major impact.
