'Riddick' wins weekend with $18.7 million

"Eugenio Derbez’s Spanish-language dramedy Instructions Not Included expanded from 347 to 717 theaters this weekend and ticked up 3 percent to $8.1 million as a result. The runaway hit from Pantelion Films (a joint venture of Lionsgate and Mexican broadcaster Televisa) has now grossed $20.3 million after ten days, already making it the tenth highest-grossing foreign language film of all time in the United States. If Instructions, which cost only $5.5 million to make, continues its Cinderella run — and that seems likely given its “A+” CinemaScore and great $11,297 per theater average — it could surpass Pan’s Labyrinth‘s $37.6 million cume to become the highest grossing Spanish-language film ever in the U.S."
