Rogue One: A Star Wars Story scored at the box office last weekend with a debut of $155 million. Moana pulled in $12.7 in its fourth weekend of release while Collateral Beauty debuted with $7.1 million.
Opening This Weekend
Sing
Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Seth MacFarlane, Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Hudson and Taron Egerton are just a few of the stars that lend their voices to the characters in Sing.
If you leave the theater in a down mood after seeing Sing, you probably have some different problems you need help with. Some of the cast members joined Paul McCartney, Jimmy Fallon and The Roots recently for a wonderful rendition of “Wonderful Christmastime.”
Todd M. Thatcher predicts Sing receipts of $55.3 million for Friday to Monday and $74.1 million from its opening yesterday to Monday.

Passengers
Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt are stranded on a spaceship headed to a distant planet in Passengers, in theaters now. Pratt and Lawrence are just two of thousands of people frozen in a deep sleep on a trip to recolonize on a distant planet. The pair wakes up 90 years ahead of schedule. Is there a reason? The trailer sure teases the possibility of that.
Lawrence saw modest success last year during the Christmas season with Joy, for which she was nominated for both Oscar and Golden Globes Best Actress Awards.
After starring with Bradley Cooper in Guardians of the Galaxy, Pratt will step into Cooper’s typical role opposite Jennifer Lawrence. Cooper and Lawrence have starred together in Joy, American Hustle, Serena and Silver Linings Playbook.
(In case you were wondering, J-Law and Cooper are not an item and Bradley will never sleep with her.)
Todd M. Thatcher predicts receipts of $31.4 million for Friday to Monday for Passengers and $42 million total from its opening yesterday to Monday.

Fences
Fences stars Denzel Washington and Viola Davis and is based on the 1983 play written by August Wilson. Wilson also wrote the screenplay while Washington also directs.

Todd M. Thatcher predicts receipts of $13.2 million for Why Him? from Friday to Monday.

Ryan is a weird dude. He doesn't cook, yet owns a plethora of kitchen gadgets. He rationalized buying a SodaStream while unemployed. He counts Step Up 2: The Streets as one of his favorite movies along with Footloose, Rent, Grease and Paul Blart: Mall Cop. He loves Mizzou but only wants them in the SEC so he can tailgate in Nashville. He owns a ShakeWeight and AbLounger, but still loves him some John Donut and Billie's Fine Foods.
