NEW YORK (AP) — M. Night Shyamalan’s psychological thriller “Split” led the box office for the third straight weekend thanks to a pair of underperforming debuts.
The horror sequel “Rings” opened with a weak $13 million for Paramount Pictures, and STX Entertainment’s fable of a boy born on Mars, “The Space Between Us,” debuted with a mere $3.8 million according to final box-office figures Monday. As usual, Hollywood largely ceded the weekend to the Super Bowl. But Oscar contenders like “Hidden Figures,” ”La La Land” and “Lion” continued to draw crowds.
