'Rogue One' and 'Sing' leave little room for other passengers at the box office

Los Angeles Times 

"Rogue One"" quashed most movie rebellions Friday, while Universal was whistling a happy tune with "Sing," as the two films are dominating all wide releases this holiday weekend. In its second weekend of release, "Rogue One" took in about $20 million Friday, putting it in line for as much as $110 million for the four-day period that includes the official Christmas holiday on Monday. The Gareth Edwards "Star Wars" spinoff has been a powerhouse for Disney, now taking in $245 million in the U.S. and an additional $197 million around the world. "Sing," an animated musical voiced by the likes of Matthew McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon, is proving to be the only new, wide release that can hold its ground against the Rebel forces. After a $13-million Friday, the movie is on track for a four-day total of $55 million, adding to its combined $20 million from Wednesday and Thursday. The number puts Universal and production company Illumination Entertainment in a good place with the family film, which is estimated to have cost $75 million to produce.
