Mel Gibson’s “Flight Risk” topped box office charts with $12 million opening weekend, despite mixed reviews and competition from other films like “Mufasa: The Lion King.” President Trump named Gibson a special ambassador to Hollywood. “The Brutalist,” a nominated film for 10 Academy Awards, made $6 million in limited release, marking its best week yet. Meanwhile, “Nickel Boys” struggled with just $340k in ticket sales despite Martin Luther King Jr.’s weekend lows. “Presence” added $3.4M to its tally, while “One of Them Days” held strong with $8M. “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” and “Den of Thieves 2: Pantera” also saw solid performances. The weekend highlighted a mix of successes and underperformers in Hollywood’s slate of films.
