As expected, the first box office of 2015 yielded little to no change as The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies brought in an additional $21.9 million to remain at the top and only one new film made its way into the top 10.
Disney musical Into the Woods flip-flopped positions with Unbroken with less than a million dollars separating them at $19.9 million and 18.3 million, respectively. The follow-up to the 2012 horror flick The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death debuted at No. 4 with $15.5 million. And Ben Stiller’s Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb rounded out the top five spots with a draw of $14.4 million.
Also of note, the animated Big Hero 6 found its way back into the top 10 bringing in an additional $4.8 million. And Clint Eastwood’s American Sniper as well as Ava DuVernay’s Selma both made notable returns as they gear up for impending nationwide roll outs.
