‘Rogue One’ tops box office for 4th straight week

“Star Wars” is still dominating the movie universe, with “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” leading the box office for a fourth straight week.

The intergalactic adventure edged out the NASA drama “Hidden Figures” for the top spot this weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. “Rogue One” brought in $21.97 million. “Hidden Figures” — which expanded by more than 2,000 theaters Friday after opening in limited release — collected $21.8 million.

“It’s a great weekend for space movies,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box office tracker comScore, noting that the Jennifer Lawrence-Chris Pratt space story “Passengers” also remains among the top 10.

“Rogue One,” though, has been unstoppable, Dergarabedian said, and is expected to top “Finding Dory” as the biggest box-office success of 2016.

The animated animal musical “Sing” was in third place this weekend, taking in another $19.5 million for a three-week haul of $213.3 million. “Underworld: Blood Wars” debuted in fourth place with $13.1 million, followed by the celebrated musical “La La Land” with $10 million.
