The Upside Upsets The Box Office

Most box-office pundits, including myself, believed that Aquaman had another week in the top spot before Glass finally unseated it. We were wrong. It’s not that Aquaman performed poorly in its fourth week, either. It fell only 44 percent (typical) to score $17.2 million, bringing its total to $287 million domestic, pushing it over $1 billion worldwide. The surprise is not in Aquaman’s performance but in the film that unseated it, STX Films’ The Upside.
