LOS ANGELES — Star Wars is still dominating the movie universe, with Rogue One: A Star Wars Story leading the box office for a fourth straight week.
The intergalactic adventure edged out the NASA drama Hidden Figures for the top spot this weekend, according to studio estimates Jan. 8.
Rogue One brought in $21.97 million. Hidden Figures — which expanded by more than 2,000 theaters Jan. 6 after opening in limited release — collected $21.8 million.
“It’s a great weekend for space movies,” said Paul Dergarabedian, Senior Media Analyst for box office tracker comScore, noting that the Jennifer Lawrence-Chris Pratt space story Passengers also remains among the top 10.
