George Clooney’s “Suburbicon” notched one of the most dismal wide-release debuts in recent years on a sluggish pre-Halloween weekend where the horror sequel “Jigsaw” topped all releases despite an underperforming debut.
The eighth “Saw” film landed at No. 1 with $16.3 million in North American ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday.
“Jigsaw” distributor Lionsgate also claimed the No. 2 spot with $10 million in the second week of release for “Tyler Perry’s Boo 2! A Madea Halloween.”
Opening-weekend moviegoers gave “Jigsaw” a modest B CinemaScore. But that rating still easily surpassed the D-minus grade that greeted “Suburbicon,” which managed just $2.8 million.
