Box Office: Mel Gibson and Mark Wahlberg’s ‘Flight Risk’ Flies to No. 1 With $12 Million in Yet Another Glacial Weekend

"Flight Risk," an action thriller starring Mark Wahlberg and directed by Mel Gibson, was No. 1 in a glacially slow weekend at the box office.

“ Flight Risk,” an action thriller directed by Mel Gibson and starring Mark Wahlberg as a balding, unhinged pilot, landed in first place with $12 million from 3,161 North American theaters in its opening weekend. That could be challenging because critics and audiences lambasted the film, which holds a dismal 21% average on Rotten Tomatoes and lousy “C” grade on CinemaScore. Sony’s R-rated buddy comedy “One of Them Days” slid to third place with $7.75 million from 2,675 locations, marking a scant 34% decline from its opening.
