"The Martian" rockets to box office glory

*all numerical information provided by boxofficemojo.com

It's the first weekend of October and Ridley Scott's "The Martian" takes the top spot at the box office, as expected, making an estimated $55,000,000, falling just short of the October opening weekend record set by "Gravity" just two years ago. Though the margin is so tight, it still has a chance to surpass it when the actual numbers are released later in the week. Coming in at #2 was the film led by Adam Sandler and friends, the animated monster comedy "Hotel Transylvania 2," which earned another $33,000,000, bringing its two week domestic gross to $90.5 million dollars. Coming in at #3 as it continued its gradual nationwide roll-out is "Sicario," which made an estimated $12,075,000, bringing its domestic total to $15,076,295. Settling for #4 is the Robert Di Nero/Anne Hathaway comedy "The Intern," which added another $11,620,000 to its $36 million total. Finally, closing out the top five this weekend was the dystopic teen fantasy adventure "Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials," which added $7,650,000 to its $63 million total.
