Denzel’s back! Of course, was there ever really any doubt? His latest film, The Equalizer, debuted this past weekend with $35m, doubling the weekend’s runner-up film, The Maze Runner. The weekend’s other major release, Laika’s The Boxtrolls, came in a close third with $17.25m. The rest of the top 10 didn’t fare so much, but considering the majority of them are already at least a month into their campaigns, show how powerful their staying power is. Guardians of the Galaxy is still carving up the box office, bringing in $3.8m to bring its cumulative domestic revenue to $319m while Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles inches closet to $200m with this weekend’s $1.4m.
