'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story' remains a force at the box office
The holiday spirit is strong with "Rogue One," as the "Star Wars" spinoff continued its stranglehold on the box office for the second consecutive weekend. "Rogue One" took in around $14 million Saturday, placing it on a trajectory to potentially rake in $105 million during the four-day holiday weekend to bring its likely domestic total to well over $300 million since its Dec. 15 release. Winning the battle for second place appears to be Universal Pictures' "Sing," an animated tale of a koala attempting a last-ditch effort to save his theater by holding a reality show-style singing competition. From production company Illumination Entertainment, "Sing" is buoyed by several celebrity voice performances, including Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon and Scarlett Johansson. Through Sunday the animated film had brought in an estimated $33.17 million, putting it on track to earn around $51 million through Monday and over $71 million since its Wednesday release date.
