BOX OFFICE:‘1917’ Tops $36 million, ‘Star Wars’ #2, ‘Boss’ edges ‘Mercy’

A VERY impressive Golden Globes bounce for Sam Mendes WWI epic, which may clear the $37 million mark after all the weekend’s receipts are finally tallied Monday. $36.5 is the official estimate Sunday.

“Rise of Skywalker” and “Jumanji” both finally fell off fairly steeply, to $15 and $13.

“Like a Boss” did about as well as a hacked up comedy with weak reviews could expect — a little over $11.

“Just Mercy” just trailer that in its first weekend of wide release, reaching the $10.8 mark.

As feared, the pricey sci-fi/horror/action pic “Underwater” sank without a trace –$7 million.

    The award-winning film, “1917,” is worth every honor it receives. War in any form & time, no matter how noble…is hell. We honor all who protect and defend our homeland, hoping that conflicts and strife can be resolved by peaceful means…clearer communications, sane discussions & negotiations, and balanced diplomatic accords!
    “1917”…the film, depicts a WWI event with graphic realism…exceptional cinematography, powerful musical score, and inspiring acting by the two lead actors. A must see film for 2020…when clearer communications, sane minds and wise leaders are so desperately needed!
