Mel Gibson’s Flight Risk flew to a $12 million on Sunday, opening from 3,161 theaters to top a quiet weekend at the domestic box-office.

Flight Risk is the first film Gibson has directed since 2016’s Hacksaw Ridge. The action-thriller hit theaters just days President Donald Trump named him new ambassador to Hollywood alongside Jon Voight and Sylvester Stallone.

Flight Risk stars Mark Wahlberg as a pilot transporting an Air Marshal (Michelle Dockery) accompanying a mob-connected witness (Topher Grace) to trial.  As they cross the Alaskan wilderness, tensions soar and trust is tested, as not everyone on board is who they seem — including the pilot.

Review have been largely negative, and audiences slapped it with a punitive C CinemaScore.

Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King, despite being in its sixth weekend, continued to display force. It held at No. 2 with $8.7 million from 3,420 theaters to finish Sunday with a domestic total of $221.1 million and $627.7 globally.

Sony and TriStar’s female-fronted comedy One of Them Days, now in its second weekend, held in nicely to place third with an estimated $8 million for a domestic cume of $25 million from 2,675 cinemas. The Issa Rae-produced film stars Keke Palmer and SZA.

Paramount’s Sonic the Hedgehog 3, in its sixth weekend, came in fourth with $5.5 million from 3,097 theaters for a domestic tally of 2,261. The family film fell a modest 36 percent despite now being available in the home via premium VOD.

Disney’s Thanksgiving animated blockbuster Moana 2 rounded out the top five in its ninth weekend with $4.3 million from 2,550 locations for a domestic total of $1.026 billion as it prepares to become the ninth biggest animated film of all time.

Soderbergh’s Presence

Soderbergh’s haunted horror-thriller Presence opened in 1,750 theaters. The specialty film, from Neon, earned $3.41 million to come in sixth place. The film’s budget is less than the opening gross.

Filmed entirely from the perspective of the ghost haunting the house, Presence stars Lucy Liu, Chris Sullivan and newcomer Callina Liang star in this chiller about a family that appears on the brink of falling apart.

The specialty box office following Oscar nominations. Searchlight’s A Complete Unknown grossed $3.1 million from 2,010 theaters as it cleared the $60 million mark domestically in its fifth weekend. The Bob Dylan biopic came in eighth followed by Lionsgate’s mainstream pic Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, which earned $3 million for a domestic total of $31.9 million.

Paramount’s September 5 expanded into 395 theaters — the film was largely snubbed by Oscar nominations — earning a disappointing $770,000 for a domestic cume of $1.7 million after 7 weekends.

Sony Pictures Classics’ I’m Still Here, which is up for best picture alongside A Complete Unknown and Brutalist, expanded into 17 locations, grossing $210,000 for domestic total of $404,000.
