Despite performing a bit below expectations, The Dark Tower debuted in first place at the box office, earning an estimated $19.5 million in its opening weekend.
While the Nikolaj Arcel-directed film did well enough to end Dunkirk's two-week run as box office leader and had the second-highest opening for a Stephen King movie (second only to 1408's $20.6 million opening haul), The Dark Tower had the lowest first place opening of 2017 thus far. Including reshoots, the film reportedly cost $65 million to produce.
Right behind The Dark Tower is Dunkirk with an estimated $17.6 million. Not far behind in third and fourth place are The Emoji Movie and Girls Trip, which earned an estimated $12.4 million and $11.4 million, respectively.
Detroit, meanwhile, debuted far below expectations, placing eighth with a disappointing $7.3 million debut. The Kathryn Bigelow-directed crime drama reportedly had a production budget of $40 million.
Faring a bit better was Kidnap, which placed fifth. The Halle Berry-led thriller from director Luis Prieto, which was shelved for three years at Relativity Media before it was picked up by Aviron, earned an estimated $10.2 million in its domestic debut.
