David Fincher's
Gone Girl, which stars
Ben Affleck ("
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice") pulled in
$27.6M this weekend at the North American box office. It only experienced a miniscule 26% drop. The first-place finish makes
Gone Girl the first R-rated
drama since 2010's
Shutter Island to hold the No. 1 position two weeks in a row. It now has a ten-day total of
$75M.
Universal is hoping
Dracula Untold will be the start of their planned classic monsters cinematic universe. The action-horror film will finish in second-place with a respectable
$23M debut. Audiences were rather kind to the vampire origin film, as they gave it an
“A-” CinemaScore. That was a popular score as two other films debuting this weekend, Jennifer Garner's
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day and Robert Downey Jr.'s
The Judge received that very same score. Garner's family-friendly film, which also stars Steve Carrell, will finish in third, with
$19M+. While the
Iron Man star has been sentenced to a lackluster fifth-place finish, with only
$13M+.
