Box office report: 'Bad Grandpa' spoofs its way to $32 million debut

Box office report: 'Bad Grandpa' spoofs its way to $32 million debut
"Bad Grandpa finally knocked Gravity out of first place, but Warner Bros’ $100 million space drama starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney still managed a terrific hold in its fourth weekend. The film dropped just 32 percent to $20.3 million, giving it a $200.5 million total and making it Clooney’s highest-grossing film ever ahead of Ocean’s Eleven, which earned $183.4 million in 2001.

Down in fourth place, Ridley Scott’s star-studded drama The Counselor failed out of the gate with just $8 million from 3,044 theaters. Fox spent $25 million on the film, but audiences weren’t impressed by its convoluted ad campaign — and they weren’t impressed by the final product either, slapping The Counselor with a distressing 'D' CinemaScore grade. While Gravity and Captain Phillips have thrived in recent weeks, adult dramas like Don Jon, Rush, The Fifth Estate, and now The Counselor have fallen by the wayside."
