'Rogue One' and 'Sing' top weekend holiday box office as 'La La Land' goes wide and comes on strong

Call it moviegoers hungry for a sassy robot and some daring acts of galactic rebellion. Buena Vista's "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" vanquished all others in its second week of wide release, hauling in $64.4 million over the three-day holiday weekend, and is expected to pull in nearly $32 million more on Monday, which for many is also a holiday. That should bring its four-day holiday take to an estimated $96.1 million and its total domestic box office to $286.4 million -- with an additional $237.4 million from international screens. The Gareth Edwards-directed action flick, set just before the events of George Lucas' 1970s trilogy, is already well above its approximately $200-million production budget. Universal's "Sing," an animated musical comedy about the adventures of a singing pig named Rosita (voiced by Reese Witherspoon) and a koala bear who is in over his head (Matthew McConaughey), pulled in $35.3 million in domestic box office over the three-day weekend.
