Explained simply
Box office figures track how much a film earns from cinema ticket sales. The number of cinemas showing a film often falls after its opening weeks as cinemas make room for new releases, so a continuing run can indicate that audiences are still buying tickets.
Brad Pitt stars in the thriller, directed by David Ayer, whose earlier action films include The Beekeeper and A Working Man.
