'Sully' Claims The Number One Spot At the Box Office

It looks like Tom Hanks' Sully film was such highly anticipated that it topped both domestic and worldwide box offices on the weekend of September 11, 2016. The film made a huge debut besting films such as Star Trek Beyond.

"Warner Bros.

had quite an amazing weekend globally in theaters with 'Sully' starring Tom Hanks taking the top spot with $45 million, local title 'The Age of Shadows' (Mil Jeong) opening in Korea with $16 million and 'Suicide Squad' now just within striking distance of $700 million worldwide," according to Senior Media Analyst Paul Dergarabedian.
