Hanks, who plays Sully in the movie, has had a big weekend – on Friday night (09Sep16) he helped close out this year’s Stand Up to Cancer telecast in the U.S.by introducing Celine Dion. The Warner Bros. film cost a reported $60 million to produce.
Tom Hanks stars as Chesley Sullenberger, the pilot who safely landed his plane in the Hudson River, saving the lives of 155 crew and passengers.
Other wide releases this weekend are the thriller When the Bough Breaks starring Regina Hall and Morris Chestnut, horror film The Disappointments Room and The Wild Life, a new animated family film that you’ve probably never heard of. “They’re already in the profit mode”, Dergarabedian said. $4M of that domestic total came from IMAX screenings, which is especially satisfying since it is the first film to be entirely shot with IMAX cameras.
“Sully” is rated PG-13 and look for a strong supporting role by Laura Linney as his wife.
Imax said on Sunday that Sully set a September record for its circuit. It generated the top opening for an Eastwood film in Russian Federation with $925,000 on 882 screens.

“When the Bough Breaks” generated a B CinemaScore with an audience that was 62 percent female and 61 percent over 25 with Sony distribution president Rory Bruer asserting that those numbers indicate holding power in the coming weeks.
Just prior to its sixth weekend Suicide Squad finally pushed past the $300 million mark, adding $5 million over the weekend to land at $307 million. In January 2008, Eastwood’s box-office hit Gran Torino grossed $29.5 million when expanding nationwide.
