Editors' Picks: Our Favorite Things From the Week of March 2511 of 13
Box-Office Story of the Week
While this weekend saw Pacific Rim Uprising dethrone Black Panther from its No. 1 spot atop the U.S. box office after a five-week reign, a new and separate record was set by Wes Anderson's Isle of Dogs. Opening on a mere 27 screens, the stop-motion adventure earned $1.57 million and set an early 2018 record for per-theater average with a robust $58,148 tally. Anderson's movies tend to open on just a handful of screens, rolling out gradually. And while this opening weekend wasn't the director's personal best, it proves there's an audience for the labor-intensive art form.
